UBOOT_CONFIG_EXTRA is not set

[dj-zhou-bg]

error:

| cp: cannot stat 'some/path/tmp-glibc/deploy/images/imx8mp-var-dart/u-boot-spl.bin-imx8mp-var-dart-': No such file or directory

I found it caused by the empty variable UBOOT_CONFIG_EXTRA.
In my build directory, I found:

$ find . -name u-boot-spl.bin-imx8mp-var-dart-*
./tmp-glibc/work/imx8mp_var_dart-fb-linux/u-boot-variscite/1.0-r0/deploy-u-boot-variscite/u-boot-spl.bin-imx8mp-var-dart-sd
./tmp-glibc/work/imx8mp_var_dart-fb-linux/imx-boot/1.0-r0/deploy-imx-boot/imx-boot-tools/u-boot-spl.bin-imx8mp-var-dart-sd
./tmp-glibc/deploy/images/imx8mp-var-dart/u-boot-spl.bin-imx8mp-var-dart-sd

So UBOOT_CONFIG_EXTRA should be sd in this case.
This change was introduced in commit 52a28a115d92c3d6a55f2cdfa4249ff499bcd2e3.

[angolini]

let me try to reproduce it

would you, please, describe how to reproduce?

[PanovAU]

meta-freescale/recipes-bsp/imx-mkimage/imx-boot_1.0.bb

deploy_mx8ulp() and deploy_mx8()

do_deploy() {
deploy_${SOC_FAMILY}
....
UBOOT_CONFIG_EXTRA="$type"
....
}

What is the status of this issue right now?

[dj-zhou-bg]

Basically, I have included meta-freescale in my yocto project, i.e., in [build-dir]/conf/bblayers.conf file, I have:

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  /some_path/poky/meta \
  /some_path/poky/meta-poky \
  /some_path/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
  /some_path/poky/../meta-bg \
  /some_path/poky/../meta-freescale \ 
 // other layers

and in the machine file, i.e., imx8mp-var-dart.conf, I have IMAGE_BOOTLOADER = "imx-boot"
then build the image, which inherit from core-image, then I will get that error.

UBOOT_CONFIG_EXTRA="$type"

not sure what did you want to say here. Is it a hint or a solution?

[angolini]

Can you, please, test #1707?????

[dj-zhou-bg]

Can you, please, test #1707?????

Sure. I will test it when I have a chance. Relly appreciate your help!

Just my 2 cents here. I don't know if this is the same, but the problem seems to be similar to #1664. At least at that time, imx-boot.bbappend from meta-variscite-bsp-imx was changing the do_compile() of meta-freescale and not setting UBOOT_CONFIG_EXTRA.

Adding UBOOT_CONFIG_EXTRA ??= "sd" to the machine file caused another problem:

imx8mp -> /path/to/tmp-glibc/work/var_dart_imx8mp-robotics-linux/imx-boot/1.0-r0/git/iMX8M

I am not sure if it is related to this issue.
-- I used the kirkstone branch of meta-freescale.

I don't think the PR will work on kirkstone. I don't remember to have the other PR backported

[dj-zhou]

I cherry-picked your branch of this PR to kirkstone branch, I got the same error as #1693 (comment), no matter if I have UBOOT_CONFIG_EXTRA ??= "sd" or not.

I cannot test on the master branches right now, just too many other errors.

[dj-zhou]

commit 52a28a115d92c3d6a55f2cdfa4249ff499bcd2e3.

this commit introduced the error, and it is on the kirkstone branch.

[angolini]

Ok, let me review the Kirkstone branch as well.
