Petalinux build fails

[Rainer Urian]

Hi,

I am using Petalinux 2016.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.

When I use Petalinux-build  I get a list of errors, all similar to the following excerpt:

ERROR: u-boot-xlnx-v2016.07-xilinx+gitAUTOINC+0b94ce5ed4-r0 do_package_write_rpm_setscene: Error executing a python function in exec_python_func() autogenerated:

The stack trace of python calls that resulted in this exception/failure was:

Exception: OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

 

Does anyone have an idea what could cause that problem?

Some hints on how to debug that problem would also be very helpful.

 

Thank you,

Rainer

Hi @Rainer Urian,

Unfortunately, you will need to wait until next week for a response from an engineer that is more experienced in embedded linux. He is out of the office with little to no internet this week. Sorry for the inconvenience.

thank you,

Jon

After hours of debugging and reconfiguration and nearly killing my Ubuntu Linux system, I finally spotted the problem:

When doing a virgin clean creation with  petalinux-create --template zynq and a petalinux-config

the following fields in "Yocto Settings " are automatically filled by the petalinux toolchain:

• Enable Network sstate feeds (NEW)   = TRUE
• Network sstate feeds URL  ---> │http://petalinux.xilinx.com/sswreleases/rel-v2016.4/arm/sstate-cache

Unfortunately, the mentioned URL no longer exists and this is presumably the root cause of my error.

By setting Enable Network sstate feeds (NEW)   = FALSE , the error disappeared.
