I started with bitbake imx-image-full. But then build fail in u-boot-imx. Then I start building bitbake u-boot-imx and get the error. I have attached the complete error log with this post. Please, have a glance and let me know what I'm missing. I'm following i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide (nxp.com) guild.

why u got  build2-xwayland  ??you build how many times? r you clean the eviroment?

[hsiddiquee]

Hello Joseph,

Thank you for your response. I gave my build folder a different name as it was my second time to build it. I'm believe it's fine. In the first time I try to build machine imx8mm-evk and not imx8mm-LPDDR4-evk. Can you explain me what do you mean by clean the environment. Even on the first time when I try to build imx8mm-evk machine, it gave me the same error. Please, let me know if there is something wrong I'm woding.

Thanks

i nthnk it is uboot problem; see,

This board uses CONFIG_SPL_FIT_GENERATOR. Please migrate
| to binman instead, to avoid the proliferation of
| arch-specific scripts with no tests.

Hello Joseph,

I really appreciate your help. I'm new to this complete Linux build process using Yocto. Can you tell me how can I use Binman instead. What exactly I need to do. Do I just have to comment out all CREATE_ARCH_SYMLINK under all of the file you have mention. Do I have to add something so it will use binman. 

Thank you

if i were you i will start to build for imx8qxpmek  , see how?

or build 5.10.52  even 5.10.35  then compare the results ?

thank you

Thank you Joseph for your help. I'm able to build latest kernel for imx8mm-lpddr4-evk. After you mentioned about the environment clean. So, I start complete process from the beginning. But when I install the following packages

sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib \
build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect \
xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev \
pylint3 xterm rsync curl

I found out three packages weren't up to date. So, I update those packages and restart the complete process. And it help to build my u-boot.

Thanks

@hsiddiquee ,

I'm having a similar issue. By any chance do you remember which packages had to be updated ?
Thanks !

[hsiddiquee]

Hello,

I don't remember exactly which packages were those right now. But Once you install all of the below packages. 

sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib \
build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect \
xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev \
pylint3 xterm rsync curl

Run-> sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. In case it did not update the package. It will tell you and then you can update it separately. 

[josephzhou1]

1 cmd 

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

(sudo apt-get update )

2 u also can go ubuntu desktop search and run "software updater"

3hope can .

thanks
