git checkout of imx-mkimage does not work

[Ramprakash]

Hi All,

I am trying to get the mkimage tool for building the SCU FW by using the steps mentioned in the following link:

https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/i-MX8-Boot-process-and-creating-a-bootab...

On using "

git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-mkimage

"

I get the following output with the warning:

nikola@NikolaTesla:mkimage$ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-mkimage
Cloning into 'imx-mkimage'...

warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

And on doing checkout by using the command "git checkout imx_4.14.98_2.0.0_ga‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍" i get the following output:

error: pathspec 'imx_4.14.98_2.0.0_ga‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍' did not match any file(s) known to git

I tried using "git fetch" followed by "git checkout" but it did not fix the issue.

How to overcome this error?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Ramprakash,

                      Adding your branch with the command is necessary if you are using the latest version of git. ex:- "$ git checkout -b imx_4.14.98_2.0.0_ga‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍". I hope it may help you.
