[poky] Errors attempting to build AT91SAM9x5 BSP

[Bryan Evenson]

All,

I decided to start over with the stable danny tarball instead of using the Git repository.  I've been able to build a core-image-minimal QEMU image and run it in QEMU.  After that I created my new BSP using the yocto-bsp script and added my new BSP to the build/conf/bblayers.conf file as directed in the BSP Guide.  However, now whenever I try to use bitbake for anything I get the error message "NOTE: Your conf/bblayers.conf has been automatically updated. Please re-run bitbake."  I've tried incrementing the LCONF_VERSION variable in conf/bblayers.conf and incrementing the CONF_VERSION in conf/local.conf.  I've also tried issuing "bitbake -f -c clean core-image-minimal" and I get the same error.  The only way I've been able to use bitbake again is to remove the line for my new BSP from the BBLAYERS variable in conf/bblayers.conf.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Bryan

Subject: [poky] Errors attempting to build AT91SAM9x5 BSP

All,

I am using an Atmel AT91SAM9G25 board and have been using the OpenEmbedded Classic development tree (2011.03-maintenance branch) to build images for my board.  This setup is on Linux kernel 2.6.39 and uses a special patch from Atmel to add SAM9x5 support.  There are some kernel fixes starting at kernel 3.2 that are applicable to my setup that I would like to incorporate into my image.  After reading the Yocto Project documentation, I thought the best approach to take would be to use the Yocto Project tools to build a BSP for my AT91SAM9G25 board.  So far I have been unsuccessful and I am looking for help.

What I've done so far:
1.  Followed the instructions in Section 2.2 of the Development Manual to obtain the latest Yocto project release, Yocto Project kernel and poky extras from Git.  Associated commit hashes are:
poky: e421e95de0ce430cc2c6db9b0712a66ab96288a1 (on branch master)
linux-yocto-3.4-git: 7eb5fbf903d9db90c3cf371b65e1f2a68d5676d7 (on branch master)
poky-extras: 33714938c2b246e4894225b3170cb8972a389618 (on branch master)

Build configuration as announced by Bitbake:
Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.16.0"
TARGET_ARCH       = "arm"
TARGET_OS         = "linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "qemuarm"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.3+snapshot-20121109"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "armv5 dsp thumb arm926ejs"
TARGET_FPU        = "soft"
meta              
meta-yocto        
meta-yocto-bsp    = "master:e421e95de0ce430cc2c6db9b0712a66ab96288a1"

2. Modified the local.conf file for an arm setup in hopes of building a qemuarm image first with a modified kernel.

3. bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel, and then modified the kernel configuration to fit my needs for a SAM9G25.
4. bitbake virtual/kernel
5. bitbake core-image-sato, which then fails.  It is failing on compiling the util-linux package with the following log from log.do_compile:

6. I thought there might be e piece in the toolchain that was missing, so I did a "bitbake meta-toolchain", which resulted in the following error during the compilation of the nativesdk-gdbm package:
DEBUG: SITE files ['endian-little', 'bit-32', 'ix86-common', 'common-linux', 'common-glibc', 'i686-linux', 'common']

At this point I'm not sure why I'm seeing these errors and what is going wrong.  I'd welcome any suggestions that would help me get the build to complete.

Thanks,
