I am building yocto for a specific hardware (imx6 saber-sdb from nxp). I want to remove a particular (chromium) package from the build process. so that chromium package will not be downloaded, compiled and will not be part of the target image as well.

Can some body suggest me how to do this?

Thanks and Regards, Giri
