imx7d-Pico-Pi Alexa-AVS-demo / ERROR: avs-image-qt5-1.0-r0 do_image_ext4: Function failed: do_image_ext4

[cesar_hernande1]

Hi All,

I was just compiling the image from this guide: Build Alexa SDK (AVS) image for i.mx7D PicoPi board (with Yocto Morty, Kernel4.9) 

Everything compiles fine but then i get this error message: ERROR: avs-image-qt5-1.0-r0 do_image_ext4: Function failed: do_image_ext4

I have tried recompiling several times on several different machines with no success and the same error. I also tried to reformat my drives which did not help either. One of my drives is an SSD 250GB and the other drive i used was a 1TB HDD.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue? thank you.

Attached are the logs and the configuration files that were used.

Here is the error log:

Hi,Cesar

I change local.conf

like this

#Rootfs size (Full eMMC - uboot/kernel partitions) = 3.5GB - 16MB
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE = "5333152"
IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR = "1.0"

but also compile fail

Can help me where or how change?

Tks for all.

Hello,

The log message "Could not allocate block in ext2 filesystem while writing file ..." may mean,

that partition size is no enough. 

   You may try to increase it, using IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE parameter in "local.conf".

By default it is about 3.5G. 
 

Regards,

Yuri.

Yuri,

Thank you. I changed the IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE parameter in the "local.conf" file to 4.5GB and the image compiled with no problem.

Regards,

Hello,

    Please verify requirements for host machine, using section 3 (Host Setup)

of "i.MX_Yocto_Project_User's_Guide.pdf".

  You may try to build at first regular image:

bitbake avs-image

Have a great day,
Yuri
