Yocto Common Errors
Common build errors
Check-sum
Sometime you will get an error as listed below. The reason is due to re packaging on the server of the provider. locate the pacakage bb file
$ find ../sources/ -name evtest*
./meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-support/evtest ./meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-support/evtest/evtest_1.25.bb
edit the pacakage
$ gedit ./meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-support/evtest/evtest_1.25.bb
And replace: SRC_URI[archive.md5sum] = "770d6af03affe976bdbe3ad1a922c973" SRC_URI[archive.sha256sum] = "3d34123c68014dae6f7c19144ef79ea2915fa7a2f89ea35ca375a9cf9e191473" With: SRC_URI[archive.md5sum] = "0ef3fe5e20fa2dee8994827d48482902" SRC_URI[archive.sha256sum] = "6e93ef54f0aa7d263f5486ce4a14cac53cf50036bfd20cf045fef2b27ee6664b"

Can't find package
Due to server maintenance sometime it will fail to fetch the source. search the exact file name and version and download it from other source into your download directory.
Unexpected Error
Some bitbake processes quit unexpectedly due to low memory.
ERROR: Worker process (12928) exited unexpectedly (-9), shutting down... ERROR: Worker process (12928) exited unexpectedly (-9), shutting down... ERROR: Worker process (12928) exited unexpectedly (-9), shutting down... ERROR: Worker process (12928) exited unexpectedly (-9), shutting down...
To fix this edit conf/local.conf and decrease the number of working threads by adding the following to you conf/local.conf file (under the build directory):
BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "6"
UBI size is too small (max_leb_cnt too low)
Sometimes when building a large image the system fails, because the image cannot fit into the default 512MB NAND flash.
Log data follows: | DEBUG: Executing python function set_image_size | DEBUG: Python function set_image_size finished | DEBUG: Executing shell function do_image_ubi | Error: max_leb_cnt too low (4094 needed) | ERROR: Function failed: do_image_ubi
There are three ways to overcome this issue:
- If you are using a SOM with eMMC, use the eMMC to store the filesystem, and remove the ubi image type from the build process by adding the following line to the conf/local.conf file in your build directory:
IMAGE_FSTYPES_remove_<MACHINE> = "ubi" (Replace <MACHINE> with either var-som-mx6, imx6ul-var-dart or var-som-mx7, according to the SOM you are using)
- If you have a SOM with a 512MB NAND flash and no eMMC, you'll have to remove packages from the image you are building in order to make it fit, or just use a different and smaller image.
- If you have a 1GB NAND flash on the SOM and you want to use it to hold the filesystem, edit the conf/machine/include/variscite.inc file under meta-variscite, comment out the 512MB NAND parameters and uncomment the appropriate 1GB NAND parameters.
(Replace <MACHINE> with either var-som-mx6, imx6ul-var-dart or var-som-mx7, according to the SOM you are using)
