How to update Glibc version in yocto sdk v2.0

[Suraj_Prakash]

Hi,

  Currently the sdk which we are using has the glibc 2.22 .Can anyone please suggest how can we get the glibc 2.28 in the yocto sdk V2.0 ??

[yipingwang]

Please backup sources/meta-freescale/recipes-core/glibc/ to other place, please extract the attached file in folder sources/meta-freescale/recipes-core/.

Please modify GLIBCVERSION_qoriq-ppc to 2.28 in sources/meta-freescale/conf/distro/fsl-qoriq.conf.

GLIBCVERSION_qoriq-ppc = "2.28"

Then rebuild glibc and rootfs filesystem.

$ bitbake glibc

$ bitbake fsl-image-core

I have got the following errors

$ bitbake glibc

[yipingwang]

Please put the attached linuxloader.bbclass and nopackages.bbclass in folder sources/poky/meta/classes/.

GLIBC 2.28 recipes from Openembedded are not compatible with Linux SDK 2.0 build environment. It's difficult to port Glibc 2.28 in Linux SDK 2.0, please consider still using Glibc 2.22 or 2.20.

[Suraj_Prakash]

Hi,

      Since like you said it is difficult to use Glibc 2.28 with Linux SDK 2.0 build environment,is there any way to update my existing Linux SDK 2.0 to higher version and then use Glibc 2.28?

Please help me fix the issue.Thanks in advance.

[yipingwang]

You could consider to use the latest Yocto 3.1 release from NXP.

https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/yocto-sdk/tree/readme?h=dunfell

It integrates glibc 2.31.

[Suraj_Prakash]

Hi,

please suggest how to download yocto 3.1

Thanks

suraj

[yipingwang]

Install 'repo' tool
===================
To use this manifest repo, the 'repo' tool must be installed first
```
$: mkdir ~/bin
$: curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo  > ~/bin/repo
$: chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
$: PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
```

Download Yocto Layers
=====================
The following is the step of how to use repo utility to download all Yocto layers according to the repo manifest. Replace <branch> with the real name (see Yocto branch and version below).

```
$: mkdir yocto-sdk
$: cd yocto-sdk
$: repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/yocto-sdk -b dunfell
$: repo sync -- force-sync 

 Please refer to https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/yocto-sdk/tree/readme?h=dunfell for details.

Hi,

        Is there any solution apart from shifting to Sdk 3.1. Can i cross compile glibc separetly and use it on the board.If yes please suggest a solution.

Thanks in advance.

[yipingwang]

It is impossible to cross compile glibc separately. All rootfs packages depend on glibc, if you upgrade glibc to higher version, all packages in rootfs should be rebuilt.

Hi,

      I am using t1040 reference board and does sdk 3.1 support the same

[yipingwang]

Yocto 3.1 doesn't provide support for T1040 directly, you could refer to T1042D4RDB or T1024RDB to create yocto configuration recipe for T1040D4RDB.

[Suraj_Prakash]

How to create a receipe for T1040 in SDK 3.1?

[Suraj_Prakash]

Hi,

     Do you have any procedure to do the configuration for T1040 in sdk 3.1?
