How to fix Yocto QA error [already-stripped]

[Qiutt]

Following UG10164 v.LF6.6.52_2.2.0 I tried to build sdk, but recived a QA error [already-stripped]. 

Does anybody have an idea how to fix it?

PC: ubuntu20.04 x86_64

1. Init build env: 

$ repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-scarthgap -m imx-6.6.52-2.2.0.xml

$ repo sync

$ DISTRO=fsl-wayland MACHINE=imx8dxl-b0-lpddr4-evk source imx-setup-release.sh -b build-imx8dxl-b0

2. build:

$ bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk

QA error:

ERROR: ptest-runner-2.4.5+git-r0 do_package: QA Issue: File '/usr/bin/ptest-runner' from ptest-runner was already stripped, this will prevent future debugging! [already-stripped]

Thanks for your reply.

This QA occured on Ubuntu 20.04, but it did not happen on Ubuntu 22.04.
Although I don't know the reason, it seems to be caused by the OS version.

Adding INSANE_SKIP can skip it with ptest-runner, but there are many packages with this problem.

So, the best way may be updating the os version.

Hello,

The QA error happens because the binary is stripped too early, blocking debugging. You can fix it by skipping the already-stripped check in the recipe or stopping the stripping during the build. Just add INSANE_SKIP_${PN} = "already-stripped" to the recipe and rebuild.

Hi,

I try to build again with the same steps that you've taken, that is success.
