Error: The present kernel disabled CONFIG_MODULES.

[Grigoriy]

Hello!

I'm following this guide https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/Android_Auto_User's_Guide.pdf but when I run this command:

./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt

I receive this error:

In the guide there is no any information about this. Where I should set this CONFIG_MODULES flag?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products,

Could you please attach the steps that took you there? You can export the output of

$ history

Are you running these commands?

$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch mek_8q_car-nxp_stable-userdebug

Could you please add these commands after the lunch one?

$ export TARGET_RELEASE=nxp_stable
$ build_build_var_cache

Regards

Hi Joseph!

1. Sure. Here is the history:

1997  source build/envsetup.sh 
1998  lunch mek_8q_car-nxp_stable-userdebug
1999  ./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt
2000  clear
2001  history 

2. Yes, I am.

3. I run those 2 commands and nothing happened:

 after that I run:

./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt

and received the same error:

Hi,

There might be an initialization or host trouble, I tried to replicate the experiment, results are failed at 1:50:00 because I had no space left and they were performed in Ubuntu 22.

Ok, thank you very much! Turned out I downloaded imx-android 15.0.0_1.2.0 instead of 

imx-automotive-15.0.0_1.1.0.
