libusb support to Yocto build for Freescale imx6 board

Question

I am currently working with creating an alternative BSP using Yocto to replace the existing BSP. I am new to Yocto and I need to know how I can add libusb support to Yocto to detect the bluetooth dongle when attached.

Regards, Pavan

Answer 1

You could use OpenEmbedded Layer Index to search for recipes available in Yocto. libusb1 recipe is here.

Then, to add that recipe to your Image, in /build/conf/local.conf, add IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " libusb1 "

Another option is to create core-image-full-cmdline for a console-only image with more full-featured Linux system functionality installed.
