CIFS on i.MX6

[manjunathjoshi]

Hello all,

Can anybody tell me how do i configure CIFS to my i.mx6 SABRESD. I have configured CIFS in menuconfig. I am using 3.10.17 kernel. If i want to mount the CIFS

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //10.20.1.123/Downloads,

       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might

       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

       dmesg | tail or so.

is the error message.

As i saw there was no /sbin/mount.cifs file.

There is not much of information on CIFS - utils in YOCTO but there is an option for NFS-Utils. Will NFS-Utils in any way help mounting CIFS if i add package. I wanted to run samba server on i.MX6

Regards,

Manju

Hi Manjunath

I think that you shoul try to add a new layer to your project, from the next repo.

git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-baryon

And you should install from connectivity recipes all samba packages and also cifs packages as you can see in the link.

meta-baryon - Example NAS layer

Best regards.

Jaime.

Hello Jaime,

I guess the layer meta-baryon requires  lot of changes. As i have tried the same, "recipes-kernel" gives error. So do others.This was the error with "recipes-kernel",

ERROR: No recipes available for:

  /home/pga/projects/fsl-community-bsp/sources/meta-baryon/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.8.bbappend

  /home/pga/projects/fsl-community-bsp/sources/meta-baryon/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.4.bbappend

I did not require all so removed one by one. At every step i got errors, so i went for only samba related.

For only "recipes-connectivity" i got,

So i think do_configure in samba_3.6.8.bb needs bit of change . Please reply if correction is required.
