Hi there!
I am an electronics engineer with a small amount of knowledge in this area. My plan is to create a bootable Linux yocto image to test a carrier board and to switch on the LVDS output (as I believe it has to be done by switching it on in the yocto image) and I haven't got to this stage yet.
I am following the "IMX_YOCTO_PROJECT_USERS_GUIDE.pdf", I have encountered quite a few errors which I have managed to resolve.
I have ensured all relevant files have read/write access and I have confirmed that it has been set.
I cleared a syntax error which seemed to be related to the where the files are placed.
Everything seems like its in place to use "~$ repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-langdale -m imx-6.1.1-1.0.0.xml"
Except when I execute the command, it just hangs, I thought it might be a slow connection, so I waited 4-5 hours and nothing changed.
Further still if I enter the command "ps -ef | grep repo" in a separate terminal, I can see the repo process is running.
And in "gnome-system-monitor" I can see a few kbit/s download and one of my four CPU cores which are allocated in VMware is at 100%, and my other cores are barely used.
When I ctrl+c (cancel) the repo init command, the CPU usage drops back to normal. So something is happening!
Hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks!

Hello Harvey,
I installed ubuntu on my laptop using dual boot partition and this problem went away, it is now working!
If anyone has the error
/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory
On Ubuntu 20.04 and newer, there is a package to fix this problem. Run these commands....
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python-is-python3
It sorts out that error.
I have more steps to complete so I will be back in contact if I become stuck again.
Thanks again for your time.
Hi @MaxWilko
The most likely cause of this problem is the network problem of your virtual machine. From this screenshot, if I understand correctly, the network download speed is below 2.0KB/s. repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-langdale -m imx-6.1.1-1.0.0.xml After running, you can see the hidden ".reop" file , which contains these files, is 14MB in size.
ls .repo/
manifests manifests.git manifest.xml repo TRACE_FILE
Best regards
Harvey
Hi Harvey,
Thanks for your response I have been out of office for a week so I will get back to you as soon as I have investigated further.
Thanks for your time,
