u-boot-fw-utils build failed for SDK2.0 on ls1043ardb

[hoanguyen]

Hi all,

I am trying to add fw-printenv and fw_setenv to the Linux without much success. Here are my steps:

1) Confirm that the file u-boot-fw-utils_2015.07.bb is in meta/recipes-bsp/u-boot/ folder

2) Confirm that the UBOOT_CONFIG = "ls1043ardb_config" is in meta-freescale/conf/machine/ls1043ardb.conf

3) Add u-boot-fw-utils to IMAGE_INSTALL_append in meta-freescale/recipes-fsl/fsl-image-core.bb

4) Run bitbake fsl-image-core and have the following errors

hoa@ubuntu:~/Workspace/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/build_ls1043ardb$ bitbake fsl-image-core

If I add u-boot-fw-utils in the local.conf instead I have similar error. It looks like that u-boot-fw-utils is not built.

Could someone take a look and let me know what I am missing?

thanks,
hoa

Pavel,

The issue here is the build process of u-boot-fw-utils using SDK 2.0 "bitbake u-boot-fw-utils". I can use cross compiler to manual build it; but with Yocto it did not work. Have anyone here tried to build this yet?

thanks,

Hoa

Look at u-boot documentation on the following page in:

http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/HowCanIAccessUBootEnvironmentVariablesInLinux

Have a great day,
Pavel Chubakov

Have anyone tried to do: "bitbake u-boot-fw-utils" on SDK 2.0?

I tried and have the following error:

ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'u-boot-fw-utils'

ERROR: u-boot-fw-utils was skipped: Only config,images can be specified!

I confirmed that the bblayers.conf has the following:

BBLAYERS ?= " \

  /home/Workspace/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/sources/poky/meta \

and the file u-boot-fw-utils_2015.07.bb is in the poky/meta/recipes-bsp/u-boot

thanks
