build imx8 sdk fail

[llr]

Hello,

      I built the imx-image-full SDK using the following command:

      repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-zeus -m imx-5.4.70-2.3.0.xml

     DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx8mmevk source imx-setup-release.sh -b build-wayland
     bitbake imx-image-full -c populate_sdk

     Host information：ubuntu16.04, memory: 28GB, core number: 32

      Failed to build the SDK. The exit value is 137. Out of memory.  How to solve this problem?

Hello!

I build the same image and sdk without any problem.

Look the log below

~$ bitbake imx-image-full -c populate_sdk

After ran the command "bitbake imx-image-full -c populate_sdk" the sdk is ready to install. The script to install the sdk is in the folder "./tmp/imx8mmevk-poky-linux/imx-image-full/1.0-r0/x86_64-deploy-imx-image-full-populate-sdk/". The script name is "fsl-imx-wayland-glibc-x86_64-imx-image-full-aarch64-imx8mmevk-toolchain-5.4-zeus.sh".

After you install the script don't forget to run de command "source /<sdk path>/5.4-zeus/environment-setup-aarch64-poky-linux". This action will set the environment variable to cross compiler your source code.

I hope it could help you.

Hello,

This is normally caused because the RAM ran out of memory. It would be helpful to check the following thread where  this topic has been addressed: https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/IMX8M-populate-sdk-error/m-p/1094113

Hope it helps!
