Linux 6.1.22_2.0.0​: Failed to populated_sdk

[khang_letruong]

Hello Community,

After successfully bitbaking the full firmware image with bitbake imx-image-full, I tried populating the yocto SDK with bitbake imx-image-full -c populate_sdk but got following error :

ERROR: imx-image-full-1.0-r0 do_populate_sdk: Unable to install packages.

Could you advice how to solve the issue, please ?

Hi  @khang_letruong!

Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

Try to limit the cores and try to recompile the SDK.

You can limit the cores using the next lines in the local.conf file:

Note: We recommend 4 GB of RAM per core

BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "4"
PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 4"

If the problem persists I recommend compiling the SDK using a new Yocto project.

You can share your downloads by modifying the local.conf to compile the SDK.

Best Regards!

Hi,

To summarize : 

LF-6.1.36 :

    - On native Ubuntu-20.04 host : 

        + imx-image-full : PASSED

        + imx-image-full -c populate_sdk : PASSED

    - On dockerized Ubuntu-20.04 host : not necessarily tested

LF-6.1.22:

    - On native Ubuntu-20.04 host : 

        + imx-image-full : PASSED

        + imx-image-full -c populate_sdk : FAILED (even with the reduction of number of parallel threads / CPU cores)

    - On dockerized Ubuntu-20.04 host : I used this https://github.com/varigit/var-host-docker-containers/blob/master/Dockerfile_20.04

        + imx-image-full : PASSED

        + imx-image-full -c populate_sdk : PASSED (no need to reduce  the number of parallel threads / CPU cores which might already be imposed by the virtual machine's configuration).

I think that there ought to be some mismatching configuration of LF-6.1.22 to the existing native host machine (which works well with LF-6.1.36).

Hi @Chavira ,

Limiting the number of CPU core with a fresh Yocto project does not work for BSP LF-6.1.22_2.0.0​ either. However it works with newer BSP LF-6.1.36-2.1.0.
