Errors building L4.14.78_1.0.0 Yocto Linux for i.MX 8M Mini EVK

[stephen_eng]

Hi Folks, i

I need some help, as it seems that I'm getting errors when I'm trying to build the 4.14.78_1.0.0 Linux image for my i.MX 8M Mini EVK board.

I ran through this process to get to where I'm at:

1. repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-sumo -m imx_4.14.78_1.0.0_ga.xml

2. repo sync

3. MACHINE=imx8mmevk DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland source setup-environment build

4. MACHINE=imx8mmevk DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland source ./fsl-setup-release.sh -b build

5. bitbake -k fsl-image-machine-test

First off, I'm not sure if 'fsl-image-machine-test' is the image that I want... I just want to be able to recreate the default Linux build that is mentioned here: Get Started with the i.MX 8M Mini EVK | NXP 

The error that I have so far is this:

My Host OS is Ubuntu 18.04.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

OK, so I definitely needed to build 'fsl-image-validation-imx'. Also, my build problems were essentially due to having a shoddy internet connection, and trying to do this from behind a corporate firewall/VPN. There's a lot of package downloading taking place, and almost all of the errors had to deal with not being able to get what Yocto needs.

I've gotten it built (about 18 hours) and it runs.

Good!!

I think I figured out the image that I want... It's probably 'fsl-image-validation-imx'. Well, I'll start building that instead...
