bitbake error related to armv7l

[masa_yamamoto]

Hi,

I'm trying to build an image with "bitbake fsl-image-gui" and get the following Error messages.  I'm using "Ubuntu-16.04"  Do you have any clue?

ERROR: Unable to determine endianness for architecture 'armv7l'

ERROR: Please add your architecture to siteinfo.bbclass

ERROR: Failed to parse recipe: ~/fsl-release-bsp/sources/meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-bsp/recipes-graphics/wayland/wayland_1.9.0.bb

Thanks!

Hi,

Please check whether the machine "armv7l" is present in meta-fsl-arm/conf/machine/. You can build images for machines present in this directory.

Hi Pranav,

Thank you for your comment.  I only see imx*.conf in meta-fsl-arm/conf/machine/.  No "armv7l" keyword found with grep in the directory.  I used MACHINE='imx6qsabreauto' during building configuration.  As I googled, there was some message that bitbake may not work for compiling arm OS using arm CPU is that right?  I'm using arm CPU for compiling.

Hi,

The configuration file for yocto bitbake is build/conf/local.conf

Read the section 6.2.2 in the link below

Yocto Project Reference Manual

Hi,

I see build/conf/local.conf as well as the section 6.2.2.

I attach the contents of the local.conf file.  Does is clarify the ERRORs?

Hi Masa,

look on build/conf/local.conf.sample too. In this file you can see

MACHINE ??= "qemux86" (at about 58th line) comment this line and add

MACHINE ??= "qemuarm"

I'm not sure about the success of this attempt, I've used only x86 machine for compiling sdk.

Hi Pranav,

Thank you for your support.  I tried changing MACHINE ??= "qemuarm" in the local.conf.sample, but it didn't resolve the problem.  I have just tries bitabake on x86 machine and no ERROR!  I suspect there is some bug related to using ARM CPU for crosscompiling.  I'll use x86 from now for workaround.
