How to install DHCP server/client with fsl-yocto-3.10.17_1.0.0

[harukiryoji]

I want to set up DHCP server/client to imx6qsabreauto board with fsl-yocto-3.10.17_1.0.0.

First, I set up Yocto project directory and added the following line to "conf/local.conf".

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "dhcp"

Next, I executed bitbake command.

$ bitbake core-image-base

Then the following error occured.

Can this problem be solved?

| Error: dhcp not found in the base feeds (imx6qsabreauto cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-mx6 cortexa9hf-vfp-neon cortexa9hf-vfp armv7ahf-vfp-neon armv7ahf-vfp armv6hf-vfp armv5ehf-vfp armv5hf-vfp noarch any all).

I have solved the problem.

The setting of CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL shoud be as follows.

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "dhcp-server dhcp-client"

Thanks.

Hi,

am using Qt5 recipes with Yocto using fsl-community-bsp and the meta-qt5 layer from .Qt 5.3.0 release on i.MX6 using fsl-community-bsp and meta-qt5 In my conf, it has DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "x11 wayland".

However, when I add the above lines CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "dhcp-server dhcp-client" and bitbake, it gives error.

ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'virtual/libx11' (but /home/ramakanth/Yocto/sources/poky/meta/recipes-support/consolekit/consolekit_0.4.6.bb DEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)

ERROR: Required build target 'core-image-minimal' has no buildable providers.

Please let me know how can I add dhcp in this framebuffer backend image.

Thanks and Regards,

Ramakanth

Check if you have the dhcp recipe in any layers(these are .bb and .inc files inside a dhcp folder, inside one of your meta-* folders), and include the layers directory in the bblayers file.

Look for dhcp recipes here: openembedded-core - OpenEmbedded Core layer

Check with

$ bitbake -s

which prints all the recipes that are available. Search for dhcp.

(As a side note: check if CORE_IMAGE_INSTALL is the variable that should be set. I have used IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " dhcp" previously, but just make sure you are using the right variables)
