Repo initialization problem

mohamedhusain — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 04:34:38 GMT

When initializing repo for yocto project setup ,we are getting a problem like this:

Get git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git
2016/09/01 09:54:31 socat[4806] E read(): EOF during read of socks reply, peer might not be a socks4 server
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Would you tell me which BSP are you using?

Basically, you can download the BSP and the documentation from here:

i.MX 6 Series Software and Development Tool|NXP

For example :i.MX 6 Series Software and Development Tool|NXP

- Linux 4.1.15_1.2.0 BSP & Multimedia Codecs Documentation

In the Documentation, there is a "Freescale_Yocto_Project_User's_Guide".

Please follow the section 3.2 to setup the repo utility.

I was trying to setup the same bsp following the user guide. But work under a proxy. Configured http_proxy.

Git http.proxy. etc

But failed to download the bsp.

Hi Godwin,

When 'repo init' process is completed, the source code is checked out into the directory <BSP-Directory>/sources. A successful initialization will end with a message stating that Repo is initialized in your working directory. Your client directory should contain a hidden .repo directory where files such as the manifest will be kept.

If errors occur during repo initialization, try deleting the .repo directory and running the repo initialization command again

Regards,
Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for your helping mentality. Hoping for the same. Following is the copy of my terminal window. How can I solve this?

ubuntu@ubuntu-VirtualBox:~$ repo init -u git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-3.10.53-1.1.0_ga
2017/01/30 09:43:05 socat[2142] E read(): EOF during read of socks reply, peer might not be a socks4 server
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Hi Godwin,

Did you deleted .repo directory and tried again?

If the problems persists verify that you have internet connection and you may contact your system administrator because if you are using firewalls or porxy server this may avoid conenction to repo.
