Issue on core-image-minimal build do_populate_sysroot

[B21227916]

While building the image I'm getting this error every time. Dependencies are installed and the issue is exists with use of both the supported and custom machines.

well, it looks like your host's strip tool could not handle those prebuilt x86-64 static binaries.

if so, maybe try to remove:
https://github.com/JeffyCN/meta-rockchip/blob/master/conf/machine/include/rockchip-common.inc#L161
to
https://github.com/JeffyCN/meta-rockchip/blob/master/conf/machine/include/rockchip-common.inc#L216

then it would not try to generate rockchip style firmware(use wic image only)

Oh, okay. My host machine is M1 arm based, so this caused the issue. I’am going to try your suggestion. Thanks for such quick response.

[JeffyCN]

well, sadly there's no arm64 version of those tools...

and there is an arm64 version of the flash tool(was used for rk3399pro to download firmware to it's npu(1808)):
