Failed to build imx-multimedia image using Yocto

vsreekanth · ‎06-01-2022

Hi, I am trying to build imx-multimedia image for 'MACHINE=imx8qxpc0mek' using Yocto based commands. I have found tinycompress download error as mentioned in this below post

https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/Failed-to-build-yocto-bsp-for-i-MX8-qxpmek/m-p/875280

I have manually downloaded (1.1.6 version of module from https://github.com/alsa-project/tinycompress/tree/v1.1.6) and placed the folder contents into "imx/downloads/tinycompress-1.1.6-r0" folder within the repo, and started the build using 'bitbake imx-image-multimedia' command.

I am facing patch apply error as attached:

Hello Harvey,

Thanks for the details on build steps. I have downloaded the tinycompress v1.1.6 package from below link

https://github.com/alsa-project/tinycompress/releases/tag/v1.1.6

Downloaded 'tinycompress-1.1.6.tar.gz' and copied it to /downloads folder. Also I could find 'tinycompress.git.done' file too. Still I am facing patch apply error by doing clean/compile. Is this the right repo to use? The patch is for v1.1.6 branch ?

Attaching the error log and .bb file

Thanks& Regards,

Sreekanth

Hi @vsreekanth

With normal procedure as bitbake fetch task, the tinycompress file should be placed as below.

So, if there is network problem for fetching the tinycompress, we can try to manually download it from its source. But the file should be also with a copy of it with .done

For your case, it would be two files like 'tinycompress-1.1.6.tar.gz' and 'tinycompress-1.1.6.tar.gz.done'.

Best regards

Harvey

Hi @vsreekanth .

When you manually download source files, which should also make a copy of it with suffix as ‘.done’ at the directory ./downloads.

Then, You'd better to clean the failed files for building before downloading it to the targeted directory.

bitbake -c cleanall tinycompress

Run the command below if you have the sources tinycompress set under the directory /downloads

bitbake -c compile -f tinycompress

If the step above goes well, then good to start the command bitbake imx-image-multimedia

Best regards

Harvey
