Adding multilib in Yocto 5.4.24 for iMX8MMini-EVK

[prashant_chopad]

Hi All,

I have iMX8M Mini EVK.

I tried to build Yocto version L5.4.24_2.1.0 with Multilib support.

Added following lines in conf/local.conf

# Define multilib target
require conf/multilib.conf
MULTILIBS = "multilib:lib32"
DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib32 = "armv7athf-neon"
# Add the multilib packages to the image
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " lib32-glibc lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++"

Did # bitbake imx-image-multimedia

but got following errors:

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

Hello,

Did you get anything on this? I am also having the same issue.

Hello,

After investigating with team, the problem was caused by the package management. Multilib is not supported by the debian package management so it went wrong while packing the lib32 into rootfs file.

I have succeded in building the yocto L5.4.24 with multilib by commenting the following item in the local.conf file.

#PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_deb"

#EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "package-management"

This operation will make the package-management back to default red hat package-management (rpm).

Best regards,
Aldo.

Hi All,

When would the support for Debian package be available?

Regards,

Prashant

[AldoG]

Hello,

For now, RPM or IPK package management can be used for Mutilib . This can be checked in the chapter 3.12.2.3 of Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.

BR,

Hello,

I have replicated this on my side, I see the same result as you I tried different settings with the same result, I'll investigate more on this and get back to you as soon as I get something.

Best regards,
Aldo.
