imx8mqevk, do_image_sdcard failure at bitbake

[jekim]

Hello,

I manually created two partitions on SD card according to Linux User Guide. In order to get rootfs, I tried bitbake as below. I'm not sure I have another clue to achieve rootfs. Btw, I didn't umount before trying bitbake. According to the error message, I did umount but I had to see same do_image_scard failure again from bitbake. How can I solve this problem? 

Regards,

Jeff

Hello,

Is not necessary to perform the bitbake fetchall command to create the rootfs. You will only need use the bitbake "the image that you are willing to use" to create the images. All the images will be located in the tmp/deploy/images/imx8mqevk folder.

Hope this can solve your question.

Best Regards,

Diego.

Hi Diego,

Thank you for comments. The reason of using fetchall option was an intention to complete all fetch work in advance.

Of course, I had to ran bitbake command w/o fetchall option again for compilation and configuring.

I avoided above problem with changing the image name from fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx to fsl-image-validation-imx.

I'm not sure how much the qt5 option is important in my task. With the new image name, bitbake didn't report the do_image_sdcard error anymore. Probably the partition problem related record doesn't influence on newly named image.

Regards,

Jeff
