iMX6 bitbake error - layer.conf not found

mickaeltoumi — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 19:27:05 GMT

I am going through the document called Freescale Yocto Project User's Guide (IMXLXYOCTOUG, Rev. L3.14.38_6ul-ga, 09/2015)

I followed all the steps to setup the iMX/Yocto environment on Linux. I am running into an issue when I run the bitake command described in "5.3 Building an image".

The following error below is displayed in my console, what is missing?

xxxx@xxxx-VirtualBox:~/build_dir_imx6ulevk$ bitbake fsl-image-machine-test

I solved this problem. The <build> directory needs to be under fsl-release-bsp. In the above situation I put the build directory in my home directory (~).

Can you share complete path of fsl-release-bsp . I am having a similar issue with i.MX8
