Yocto image build failed for imx8qmmek (gdbserver is not installable)

[lchen]

Hi,

I am building the Yocto image for i.MX 8QuadMax mek following the Yocto project guide. It went through the compiling stage and failed at do_rootfs stage with the following error. I tried a couple of time also with repo sync again, still having the same issue.

ERROR: imx-image-full-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Unable to install packages.

Any idea to fix this?

Hi lchen,

Which version of the BSP are you using?

The error usually is because one of the packages that you installed is not correct installed or your Linux system tries to install these dependencies on its own. But if the dependency package version is not available on your system, it gets confused as it has no way to solve this dependency problem.

This is why it informs you that the software you were trying to install depends on XYZ but this XYZ cannot be installed.

You could reboot your system and tried to install these again.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Israel.

Hi Israel,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I did a clean build again, this time it passed. You are right, looks there is dependency pending or the concurrent threads are in deadlock.

Thanks,

Lijun
