Petalinux 2016.4 config cannot source bitbake

[ananya.muddu]

Hi,

This is regarding Petalinux 2016.4.

I am unable to successfully run petalinux-config due to a bitbake error.

$ petalinux-create -t project -n emc2dp --template zynq
$ cd emc2dp
$ petalinux-config --get-hw-description=~/sdsoc-workspace/emc2dp/
INFO: Getting hardware description...

/home/ananya/2016.3/emc2dp/petalinux/emc2dp/build/misc/config/Kconfig:546:warning: config symbol defined without type


*** End of the configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to start the build or try 'make help'.

[INFO] sourcing bitbake
ERROR: Failed to source bitbake

ERROR: Get hw description Failed!.

$ 

Any idea what is happening? Am I missing bitbake? Bitbake is not listed as a dependency while installing Petalinux.

Best regards,

Ananya

Hi,

I solved the problem. The environment setup file for yocto "components/yocto/source/aarch64/environment-setup-aarch64-xilinx-linux" uses absolute paths. These were no longer valid because I moved all installed files to a new directory.

Best regards,

Ananya

You should use a better name of folder for the 2016.4 project!

these 2 warnings seem to be a bug in petalinux 2016.4, I have also seen them

/home/ananya/2016.3/emc2dp/petalinux/emc2dp/build/misc/config/Kconfig.syshw:30:warning: defaults for choice values not supported /home/ananya/2016.3/emc2dp/petalinux/emc2dp/build/misc/config/Kconfig:546:warning: config symbol defined without type

The steps are already provided in the Petalinux User Guide:

Chapter-2, page -81

I solved the problem with switching from python 3 to python 2.

I recieve this same error in Petalinux 2019.1

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
ERROR: Failed to menu config project component 
ERROR: Failed to config project.
ERROR: Get hw description Failed!.

and the config.log says:

[INFO] generating Kconfig for project

hsi::open_hw_design: Time (s): cpu = 00:00:23 ; elapsed = 00:00:24 . Memory (MB): peak = 842.402 ; gain = 218.863 ; free physical = 117 ; free virtual = 4552

 My issue is not solved with changing the paths in yocto enivronnment either because I did not change the installation location.

What is the solution for this?
