Hello,

 

I hope someone can help with the following.

I've build yocto image for ls1046ardb (I've bitbaked for both main and tiny images)

Yet, I don't find any firmware file (firmware_ls1046ardb_sdboot.img) , and also can't find any kernel file (
( boot_ls1043ardb_lts_6.1.tgz ),

Thanks,

rans

the user/password is: user/user

I am not sure why it is not written in documentation....

I also suggest to add the command " bitbake generate-boottgz" to table 7 (3.5.4), it may save others who struggled on the same stuff

@LFGP 

Sure, the steps are as described in  Rev. L6.1.36_2.1.0 — 9 November 2023 , chapter 3.7.7 (LS1046ARDB) and chapter 3.5.4 - bitbake commands  i.e.

DISTRO=fsl-qoriq-distro MACHINE=ls1046ardb source distro-setup-env
$ bitbake ls-image-main

and

bitbake qoriq-composite-firmware

and then I would like prepare SD as mentioned in step 4

Writing image to SD card:

 

$ flex-installer -b tmp/deploy/image/<board> bootp_xxx.tgz -r tmp/deploy/image/<board>/ls-image-main-xxx.tar.gz -f tmp/ deploy/image/<board>/firmware_sdboot_secure.img -d /dev/ sdx

 

But though I have the firmware<> file and rootfs file ls-image-main<>.tar.gz, I still can't find any boot<>_file (not file starts with boot prefix)

  • Is it some other file maybe ? (see the original post with file list)
  • Is the tiny build should be used only for minimal boot and for programming other storage device ? If this is the case it means that flash qspi can't be used for booting customized linux, Right ?

Thanks!

@rans 

regarding your questions:

  • Is it some other file maybe ? answ: no, the mentioned are the rights.

 

  • Is the tiny build should be used only for minimal boot and for programming other storage device ? answ: Yes, it is intended for that.
  • If this is the case it means that flash qspi can't be used for booting customized linux, Right ? answ: right.

Please share the  output logs in order to analyze them and try to detect  some missing, due from my side the images was generated as expected.

please share with me the steps you are following  to try to generate the images, and also please share the log when you do bitbake.
I need to check if something was missing or if there something wrong.

Hi @LFGP 

After installing the build (as-is from sources) yocto and deploying it in SD card, I insert card, and starts boot, but then in login, I can't pass the login...

I tried login: root, but it then asks for password (?)

ls1046ardb login: root
Password:

I tried to enter in password: just enter/root/... but nothing passes.

see complete boot log from sd

Any idea ?
