iMX8 bitbake error - layer.conf not found

[rahul_khurana]

HI

I am trying to follow the i.MX yocto project user guide to build image for i.mx8 mini evk . However when I run bitbake command I get the following error :

rahul@rahul-VirtualBox:~/imx-yocto-bsp/test_build$ bitbake fsl-image-machine-test
ERROR: Unable to start bitbake server
ERROR: Server log for this session (/home/rahul/imx-yocto-bsp/test_build/bitbake-cookerdaemon.log):
--- Starting bitbake server pid 4528 at 2020-02-21 23:01:40.185868 ---

Below are contents of bitbake-cookerdaemon.log :

When I checked the path , the layer.conf was not there . However I could layer.conf under meta-freescale-distro/conf directory .

Can you please suggest a workaround for this ?

你好，请问出现bitbake:command not found该怎么解决呢

[nxpnxp]

After executing the command ：bitbake imx-image-multimedia，There is an error sources/meta-freescale/conf/layer.conf not found 。How do you solve it？

Hello Rahul Khurana,

Would you please provide more details on the BSP you are using? Are you following the steps on the i.MX Yocto User’s Guide? The problem may relate to a missing package or incomplete sync of the repositories.

Hi, 

First thing is get the bitbake server going..

rahul@rahul-VirtualBox:~/imx-yocto-bsp/test_build$ bitbake fsl-image-machine-test
ERROR: Unable to start bitbake server 

In your yocto root did you do a 'source' before building? For example - based of your paths..

In ~/imx-yocto-bsp/  -> source setup-environment test_build, then try a bitbake fsl-image-machine-test
