[yocto] - iMX6 sabrelite bitbake fails for core-image-minimal

[arjunsuresh]

Hi,

I was trying to bringup my iMX6 sabrelite dev board for some tests and faced issue while doing build for bitbake core-image-minimal. My host dev platform is Ubuntu12.04(x86_64/3.13.0-117). I am pasting the snippet of the failure inline. Also, I am attaching the build log of the module that failed with this post.

Please let me know, how can I fix this problem. Also, let me know if more information is needed to help the community to look into it.  Googling couldn't get me any reasonable explanation, why its happening!

Hello arjunsr,

Which branch of the FSL Community BSP are you using? Newer branches require Ubuntu 14.04 upwards.

I would also recommend making sure you have all the required packages for the Yocto project installed. For example, for Krogoth (2.1) they are listed here:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#detailed-supported-distros

From some other thread, I was reading of a bug similar to what you are seeing but that should be fixed, although it would also depend on the branch.

Regards,

Hi Gusarambula,

Am using daisy branch. poky 1.6.3.

<!ENTITY DISTRO "1.6.3">
<!ENTITY DISTRO_COMPRESSED "163">
<!ENTITY DISTRO_NAME "daisy">
<!ENTITY YOCTO_DOC_VERSION "1.6.3">
<!ENTITY POKYVERSION "11.0.3">

Other reports of this issue seems to be a bug with gcc 5 interpretation of -fPIC. And my machine isn't using gcc5.

Hello arjunsr,

Does the problem continue? What machine are you using?

If possible, I would try reproducing it on a newer branch as Daisy is somewhat old and from similar bug reports it looks like this error was fixed in newer branches.

Regards,
