i.MX Yocto Project: How Can I Build the Freescale Yocto Images using bitbake?

[#1]

1. Follow all steps from Freescale's github repo except the last bitbake command

2. The images that Freescale supports are located on the meta-fsl-demos/recipes-fsl/images folder.

3. Bake the standard Freescale image

build$ bitbake fsl-image-gui

4. The produced Linux image is packaged in several formats; the .sdcard single file has all the system (u-boot + uImage + rootfs) so it can be directly flashed into an SD card

build$ sudo dd if=tmp/deploy/images/fsl-image-gui-imx6qsabresd.sdcard of=/dev/sdX bs=4M

NOTES:

• In case of building issues, please follow this link
• In case of booting issues, make sure: 1. board DIP switches are set correctly 2. you have chosen the correct machine before baking
• If issues persist, report it to the community

How can I add Kernel Support for Flexcan?

I am not sure. Please ask this question into the Yocto Project mailing list.

Hi,

May I ask a question about this process? I followed the instructions above as far as '$ repo sync' and this fails with a bunch of messages along the lines of:

fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 204.232.175.90]: errno=Connection timed out

and eventually gives up with:

error: Exited sync due to fetch errors

I am behind a proxy, so suspecting this is the problem I read and followed the instructions here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Working_Behind_a_Network_Proxy using the socat method. The '$ repo sync' step still fails but with slightly different results, now I get messages of the sort:

2013/06/19 11:37:59 socat[9115] E getaddrinfo("", "(null)", {1,0,1,6}, {}): No such file or directory
2013/06/19 11:37:59 socat[9114] E getaddrinfo("", "(null)", {1,0,1,6}, {}): No such file or directory
2013/06/19 11:37:59 socat[9113] E getaddrinfo("", "(null)", {1,0,1,6}, {}): No such file or directory
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Any ideas would be most welcome.

Cheers,

John.

OtavioSalvador, any ideas to get around this proxy issue?

I think you are missing 'socat' utility.

$: sudo apt-get install socat

Hello,

Thank you very much for your reply. However, I had already done this, witness:

$ socat -V

socat by Gerhard Rieger - see www.dest-unreach.org

socat version 1.7.1.3 on Jul 21 2012 00:02:19

   running on Linux version #29-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 17 18:19:42 UTC 2013, release 3.8.0-19-generic, machine i686

features:

...

I also tried the nc method from the page that I linked to before. This also failed with these errors of this form:

nc: read failed (0/8): Connection reset by peer

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

Do I need access rights? Or do you think this is also a proxy issue? If so, what else am I missing to get through the proxy?

Again, thanks for your help.

Cheers,

John.

I'd try to check if GIT is really using the proxy script; maybe using a strace or something to debug it.

As I am not a proxy user, I cannot be of much help but maybe you could ask in openembedded-users mailing list about it?

[OtavioSalvador]

Sorry but I couldn't understand you properly.

Have you succeed ?

I'm a bit new to this but is this instruction still valid?

I followed the instructions but when I get to the "build$ bitbake fsl-image-gui" step it will process for a while and then:

ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'fsl-image-gui'. Close matches:

  fsl-image-multimedia

I'm now running

build$ bitbake fsl-image-multimedia

Hi

David

You can use following command to verify supported images

bitbake-layers show-recipes | grep image

Thanks

Saurabh

[dleach]

That is useful. Thank you. Is there a description someplace on each of these images?

[saurabh206]

Hi

David

You can refer "Freescale_Yocto_project_user's_guide.pdf"

[dleach]

Link?

Where can i find the libsub for ultra light board??

[sharmila_devada]

Hi,

Is it possible to build freescale yocto images using eclipse ? If so anyone knows steps for the same?

Thank You,

Sharmila
