Problem with Peta Linux generating Kconfig

[mdxg]

Hey there,

I'm currently struggling to create a custom Linux Image with the Peta Linux tools.

The project creation works fine but when I want to  configure the project with petalinx-config

the tools fails while generating the Kconfig file

The dependencies for Peta Linux are all installed and the permissions for the location are correct.

I'm using Petalinux 2017.2, Vivado 2017.2 and the final bsp 2017.1 for the ZCU102 Board

Output

----------

petalinux-create -t project -s xilinx-zcu102-v2017.1-final.bsp

petalinux-config --get-hw-description=<path to hdf>

INFO: Rename edt_zcu102_wrapper.hdf to system.hdf
[INFO] generating Kconfig for project
ERROR: Failed to generate <home>/xilinx-zcu102-2017.1/build/misc/config/Kconfig.syshw
ERROR: Failed to Kconfig project
ERROR: Failed to generate System hardware Kconfig file.

What could cause this error?

Thank you in advance

Hi @mdxg,

Why aren't you using the 2017.2 BSP? Please download it from here

Did you installed all the required packages for petalinux?

I did recreate the project with the 2017.2 board support package. Petalinux config creates still the same error.

Yes I did install all listed packages

Also which OS are you using? Is it supported by petalinux? Is you shell in bash?

I'm working on Centos 7 with a bash shell. Changing the path didn't fix the error

xorg-x11-server-Xvfb is installed.

Peta Linux is finally working. I reinstalled the tool to a local machine. That basically fixed

the issue. Somehow there was a problem with the net mounted installation

I ran into a similar issue. I installed PetaLinux in on a network drive and moved the folders, then received that error. Once I reinstalled PetaLinux in the final folder location the error went away.
