QorIQ Linux SDK v2.0-1703 kernel compilation issues

debduttabanerje · ‎04-28-2017

Hi,

I have installed the QorIQ Linux SDK v2.0-1703 in the installation folder of QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto.

I am compiling for T1042D4RDB-64b. The build- "bitbake fsl-image-full" is successful and all the images are generated.

However, I cannot customize Linux Kernel. After installing the source, I fail at kernel config:

bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel.

I get these errors

ERROR: Function failed: do_configure (log file is located at /home/debdutta/QorIQ/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/build_t1042d4rdb-64b/tmp/work/t1042d4rdb_64b-fsl-linux/linux-qoriq/4.1-r0/temp/log.do_configure.18093)

I have noted that the kernel source is a symlink:

tmp/work/t1042d4rdb_64b-fsl-linux/linux-qoriq/4.1-r0/git -> /home/debdutta/QorIQ/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/build_t1042d4rdb-64b/tmp/work-shared/t1042d4rdb-64b/kernel-source

I think this is creating [roblem.

hi,Debdutta Banerjee

did you meet this error issue when you executed the file host-prepare.sh?

root@t1040d4rdb:~# cd QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/
root@t1040d4rdb:~/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto# ./sources/meta-freescale/scripts/host-prepare.sh

Error: Unsupported Distribution, Exit

thanks

debduttabanerje · ‎08-29-2017

No I did not face this problem.

The patch by Pavel worked for me (LS1021, fsl-toolchain).

When I was trying to build fsl-toolchain, I saw the following error.

--------------------

Looking into the error message, it seemed that circular references of symbolic links was created during the bitbake.

--------------------

It is correct that 'git' is a symbolic link, but kernel-source should be a real kernel source tree.

During the bitbake, it was replaced by a symbolic link and circular references was created.

I applied the patch and did bitbake fsl-toolchain again, then the error was resolved.

vijaykumardesai · ‎09-28-2017

I also tried the same solution, but in my case the circular symlink still exists. Did you clean [the build folder] and do a build from scratch again or just just did bitbake fsl-toolchain?

shamanth_kudali · ‎02-20-2019

Yes. We need to clear the entire tmp folder using the below command from the build_<target> folder.

I got the same error. Manually changed the file suggested by the above patch.

Rerunning the bitbake fsl-toolchain command doesn't work here. Gives the same error.

So then I ran the below rm command and ran the bitbake fsl-toolchain command.
And all the tasks successfully completed.

rm -rf tmp/

P.S. It takes a lot of time to complete all tasks.

steffendedekind · ‎05-28-2017

For my case (LS1043ARDB, LS1046ARDB) the provided patch also do not work - there are still the same license Problems during "bitbake fsl-image-minmal".

I sovled it by manually copying the needed license files to their target folders. For some packages it is possible to create empty EULA files to get the expected md5sum in the build log. Using the expected md5sum makes it easy to find the correct needed file in the sources. Here is what helped me out so far (for ls1043ardb build, but also works with ls1046ardb):

tmp/work/ls1043ardb-fsl-linux/rcw/git-r0/license-destdir/rcw/generic_Freescale-EULA tmp/work/ls1043ardb-fsl-linux/rcw/git-r0/git/EULA
cp tmp/work/aarch64-fsl-linux/fm-ucode/git-r1/git/Freescale-Binary-EULA tmp/work/aarch64-fsl-linux/fm-ucode/git-r1/git/EULA

debduttabanerje · ‎05-01-2017

Well , I applied the above patch, but now this step fails:

bitbake -c patch virtual/kernel

So I cant get the kernel source. Seems there is some problem in fetching it from the above repository. However, I can see the "git.freescale.com" from my internet browser. (attached screenshot)
