Why SDK 2.0 Fetcher Failure on revision 667e6ba9ca2150b3cabdd0c07b57d1b88ef3b86a in branch sdk-v2.0.x

[pro-supportengi]

NXP repo site broken, please fix. Using patch 1609, bitbake breaks attempting to fetch using standard build procedure. This was working but started failing yesterday but again is specific to 1609 build after 1611 was pushed to the NXP repo.  SDK 2.0 does numerous fetches and if there is any consistency, the bitbake will fail. Customer's need to have a processes of mirror the NXP repo so this doesn't happen. 

I have attached all related logs, bbappend, and the FETCH_HEAD and tags indicating failure is git://git.freescale.com/ppc/sdk/linux for fsl-sdk-v2.0-1609! Customer's may need to be frozen at a current tag and don't expect bitbake fetches to fail on previous updates/tags.

We have tested SDK 2.0 under Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit using 1609 patch.

The following command sequence is used:

1. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard patch vim-common sed wget subversion git-core coreutils libbonobo2-common unzip texi2html texinfo libsdl1.2-dev docbook-utils gawk python-pysqlite2 diffstat make gcc build-essential xz-utils g++ desktop-file-utils chrpath libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev autoconf automake groff libtool xterm libncurses5-dev cvs tofrodos

    if it is 64-bit operating system, run the following command also:

    sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32ncurses5

2. a) command: ls -l /bin/sh

                Message:  /bin/sh -> dash

1. b) command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

                Answer after password – No

                Message:

                Removing 'diversion of /bin/sh to /bin/sh.distrib by dash'

                Adding 'diversion of /bin/sh to /bin/sh.distrib by bash'

                Removing 'diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz by dash'

                Adding 'diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz by bash'

1. c) command for checking: ls -l /bin/sh

                Message: /bin/sh -> bash

3. install SDK for your core (500V2 or 5500 )
4. install SDK source
5. ./scripts/host-prepare.sh

sdk 1.7: scripts: ./poky/scripts/host-prepare.sh

6. usually Linux recommends also run the following command: sudo usr/sbin/visudo

7. $ . fsl-setup-env -m ls1043ardb

8. $ bitbake fsl-image-minimal

9. bitbake fsl-image-full

Have a great day,
Pavel Chubakov

There are several NXP support threads with similar complaints about git fetch failures for

git://git.freescale.com/ppc/sdk/linux.git;branch=sdk-v2.0.x

The real resolution lies in patching the linux-qoriq_4.1.bb recipe as recommended in this link:
