ListServ & yocto on ppc

ListServ & yocto on ppc

Hi guys,

I work part-time as IT Support for the CIS dept of the university I
attend. I have asked for membership in the listserv and it has not been
granted yet. One of the professors had a freescale t4240qds that was
used for application development. It went down for some unknown reason
about 9 months ago. The previous tech that worked on it broke the sd
card that contained the yocto 1.4 sdk with embedded linux that came with
the box. I've accessed the box via minicom to find that it is the oddest
pc i have EVER worked with. It has a hardrive, yet was supposed to boot
off of the (now broken)SD card. ????? (Why in the world would that be
so? not my primary question).

This t4240qds has been unused for 9 months as no-one has been able to
figure out how to get a development environment/operating system on it. 


I've followed the following tutorial t4240qds yocto tut. to no avail.
The link for SDK 1.4 in that article is dead. Searching NXP site, I
found QorIQ-SDK-V1.4-Source.iso to use in place of QorIQ Linux SDK v1.4
Yocto Source ISO. I get to the bitbake and this happens:

whampt@whampt:/home/yocto/build_t4240qds_release$ bitbake fsl-image-core
Pseudo is not present but is required, building this first before the
main build

The contents of bblayers.conf

# changes incompatibly
LCONF_VERSION = "6"

BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
BBFILES ?= ""

BBLAYERS ?= " \

  /home/yocto/meta-yocto \
  " 

Please help me understand what went wrong here. 

Thanks,

Hi Will,

You need to add meta-oe to your bblayers.

The line:

ERROR: No recipes available for:
  /home/yocto/meta-fsl-ppc/recipes-devtools/tclap/tclap_1.2.1.bbappend

shows that tclap recipe it's been appended and you need tclap recipe. Layer
meta-openembedded/meta-oe has this recipe.
So, you need to clone git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded and add
/home/yocto/meta-openembedded/meta-oe to BBLAYERS variable in bblayers.conf
file.
