Problems with yocto repo sync for sabresd platform.

[gaun]

Hi,

I am trying to use yocto for the sabresd platform. I am behind a corporate firewall and can use git over http only. In the Freescale Yocto project users guide in the "Yocto Project Setup"  I have done the following:

repo init -u  http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b  imx-3.14.52-1.1.0_ga

repo syc

I have modified the manifest file to include http instead of git links. It is as follows:

  <remote fetch="http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx" name="fsl-release" />
  <remote fetch="http://git.yoctoproject.org/git" name="yocto"/>
  <remote fetch="https://github.com/Freescale" name="freescale"/>
  <remote fetch="https://github.com/openembedded" name="oe"/>
  <remote fetch="https://github.com/OSSystems" name="OSSystems"/>
  <remote fetch="https://github.com/meta-qt5"  name="QT5"/>

Can somebody please review the above edit? I get the following error:

Fetching projects:  33% (3/9)  Fetching project meta-fsl-bsp-release

...

...

fatal: http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/meta-fsl-bsp-release/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository?

Hi,

Sorry to dig old thread.

I have same problem as Gautam.

Usually the info/refs is under <repository_name_without_dot_git>/info/refs, for example :

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-fsl-arm/info/refs

But somehow, for freescale git repository, it is under <repository_name_with_dot_git>/info/refs, like this :

http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/meta-fsl-bsp-release.git/info/refs

Please take notice the dot git

Workarounds that strange but works for me, add ".git" to the repository name, like below :

  <project remote="fsl-release" name="meta-fsl-bsp-release.git" path="sources/meta-fsl-bsp-release" revision="jethro_4.1.15-1.0.0_ga" >
     <copyfile src="imx/tools/fsl-setup-release.sh" dest="fsl-setup-release.sh"/>
  </project>
  <project remote="fsl-release" revision="jethro" name="meta-nxp-agl.git" path="sources/meta-nxp-agl">
      <copyfile src="tools/nxp-setup-agl.sh" dest="nxp-setup-agl.sh"/>
  </project>

And do :

$ repo sync --force-sync sources/meta-fsl-bsp-release
$ repo sync --force-sync sources/meta-nxp-agl

Hope it helps.

Thank you.

jimmychan​ can you  help to continue with the follow up?

[jimmychan]

You may ask your IT dept about the proxy setting and the port number that can be used so that you can 'git' the link.

Jimmy Chan,

I think you did not understand the question. Due the limitations with the git port  I had to use http to 'git' the link. What I am expecting is somebody to verify if the above 'http' links are correct for cloning.

I think there is a problem with the git setup from your side. You can replicate the same steps as above to get the problem. I have attached the manifest.xml file reference.

Gautam,

Did you get it working?

[gaun]

Ramesh,

  I am not able to get it working with the same setup. Any chance someone from your end can try it out or review the xml file attached. It is a very simple solution from your end.

Thanks,

Gautam.

Have you try this: meta-fsl-bsp-release.git - Freescale i.MX Yocto BSP Release Layer

[gaun]

Let me check that and get back to you. It might take some time as I am tied up with something else.
