Failed build Yocto Gatesgarth "extensible SDK" (eSDK) - populate_sdk_ext fail

Question

I'm working with Yocto "Gatesgarth" on a custom board based on i.MX6ULL.

I'm facing some problems in generating the extensible SDK (eSDK).

The generation of normal SDK it's accomplished correctly.

Below some details.

Details of system:

Board based on NXP i.MX6ULL
Yocto version "Gatesgarth 3.2.4 (May 2021)"
BB_VERSION      = "1.48.0", 
NATIVELSBSTRING = "ubuntu-18.04" 
DISTRO_VERSION  = "5.10-gatesgarth"
meta-qt5 is present
Build environment based on Docker Container

Environment Variable:

File: conf/local.conf

  SDKMACHINE ?= 'x86_64'

File: test-image-mx6ull.bb

    inherit core-image
    inherit populate_sdk_qt5
    inherit populate_sdk_ext
    SDK_EXT_TYPE = "minimal"
    SDK_INCLUDE_TOOLCHAIN = "1"
    SDK_INCLUDE_PKGDATA = "0"
    SDK_INCLUDE_NATIVESDK = "1"

The command executed is :

    bitbake test-image-mx6ull -c populate_sdk_ext

Output:

ERROR: test-image-mx6ull-1.0-r0 do_populate_sdk_ext: Error executing a python function in exec_python_func() autogenerated:

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

Exception: IndexError: list index out of range

DEBUG: Python function do_populate_sdk_ext finished

Question:

In line 553 the array btfiles should be filled, but the array is empty and the line 556 generate the exception.

I have no idea of whats is wrong, what I have forget and what Yocto environment variables are needed to setup to do a correctly work.

Answer 1

hope you are doing good

i had similar issue where i couldnt populate esdk,

its all in GLIBC version..

kindly update your GLIBC version

In my case i had to update GLIBC version to 2.33 in "yocto-uninative.inc" file. It worked for me!!!
