Hi

I'm trying to compile u-boot for an iMX6 board (iMX6-Q7_Plus from MSC technologies), but the compile process fails with the following output:

>

I have had errors like this before, and have been to resolve by installing the missing tools indicated. The problem that I've got here is that I'm not sure what "test" is referring to. using, "sudo apt-get install test", doesn't work.

Can someone please give me a hint as to what the problem is here.

Thanks in advance

Andrew
