Fetcher error while building the image after including pfe pfe-slave in local.conf.

I want to build PFE multi-instance driver, For which I have added "DISTRO_FEATURES:append = " pfe"" in the local.conf, and while bitbake I get the below error:

WARNING: pfe-1.0.0-r0 do_fetch: Failed to fetch URL file://./s32g_pfe_class.fw, attempting MIRRORS if available

Hello, @hulk101

Thanks for the post.

May I know which version BSP is used?

Hello @chenyin_h

BSP 38.0 version is used for the build.

Thankyou.

Thanks for the reply, @hulk101

From the log, the PFE FW is not found by the Yocto, have you added it according to the UM?

Hi, @chenyin_h

NXP_FIRMWARE_LOCAL_DIR is not added. I have searched for the "s32g_pfe_class.fw" file and was not able to find it. Should I create this file by my own ?

Hello, @hulk101

Thanks for your reply.

No, the file mentioned is the PFE FW which is provisioned by NXP, you may download it in your account, like this:

Note that this is not the version used for BSP38, you may try downloading the 1.7.1 PFE FW for using with the BSP38.

I hope it will help.
