Hello,

We purchase LS1046ARDB and are evaluating the device performance.

Download flexbuild_lsdk1709_update_103017.tgz,
We see a package loss on the following step.

    - Step 3: Generate distro userland, untar prebuilt components tarball and merge it into distro userland
      $ flex-builder -i mkrfs -a arm64
      $ tar xvzf components_arm64.tgz -C build/images
      $ tar xvzf arm64-modules-<kernel_version>.tgz -C build/images/ubuntu_xenial_arm64_rootfs.d/lib/modules
      $ tar xvzf linux-lib-firmware.tgz -C build/images/ubuntu_xenial_arm64_rootfs.d/lib
      $ flex-builder -i merge-component -a arm64

Where can I download linux-lib-firmware.tgz ?

Try this:

wget http://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/sdk/lsdk1709/linux-lib-firmware.tgz

My question is where arm64-modules-<kernel_version>.tgz comes from. Or at least what <kernel version> substitutes for so I can guess at the download.

Thanks for the file version (arm64-modules-4.9.35.tgz)

Here is the "cheat" I did .... (I had unpacked the firmware bundle already).

root@fbubuntu:~# mkdir -p build/firmware/engine-pfe-bin/ls1012a/slow_path
root@fbubuntu:~# cp build/images/ubuntu_xenial_arm64_rootfs.d/lib/firmware/* build/firmware/engine-pfe-bin/ls1012a/slow_path/

after that I was finally able to get merge-component to work.

Now to see if I got a workable image.
