Issue building IOT Core for NXP imx8m mini

wdunkley — Fri, 03 Apr 2020 04:39:54 GMT

I'm trying to build a BSP for a NXP IMX8M mini I've followed the users guide and installed VS 2017 along with the 1809 rev of the ADK and WDK, I've run the setupcertificate.bat and all of this happens in administrative mode. However when I try to build it I get an error. There is no EXEC folder in the HalExtiMXDma folder, also the is no signtool.exe. Am I missing something?

I know people were having problems after installing ADK and WDK 1903 and then trying to uninstall them to go back down to 1809. However for me what it all came down to was I had a space in my root directory.

C:\Build Windows Core\imx-iotcore....

I noticed after 3 days that it was making a folder

C:\Build on my computer.

So I removed the spaces in between and now I have

C:\BuildWindowsCore\imx-iotcore...

Is that something that is common knowledge, not to put spaces in you're folder names?

Hi William,

thank you for info. Yes you should avoid spaces in paths if possible. Unfortunately I am aware of this problem just for a short time. You know everyone is afraid to use paths with spaces.In this case the error message is always the same, telling the file after space couldn't be found.
