Re: MTD UBI undefined reference failed to build OE gatesgarth branch

Hi Jupiter,

Sorry, I finally got to look at your issue. We are in fact still working on the gatesgarth branch. I'm sorry you are running into troubles.

In trying to duplicate your issue, as Andrey pointed out, I see that imx6ullevk.conf does in fact not have support for nand. I'm not sure why, as we have had it in out meta-imx layer for some time.

I am currently working on a machine config update for gatesgarth:

https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/pull/570

So I updated imx6ullevk.conf with nand support. It built fine.

Looking back at my PR, perhaps you are running into an NXP BSP bug that I fixed in my fork:

https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/pull/570/commits/d4724429368c7755943f3b885bbba4e04eaaa44a

Can you try building with my fork?

Subject: MTD UBI undefined reference failed to build OE gatesgarth branch

Hi Tom and Lauren,

I failed to build mx6ull with MTD and UBI in OE and meta-freescahe
gatesgarth branch, please be aware that I was able to build it in zeus
branch, it seems something broken in gatesgarth branch.

My apology I am not clear if it is the issue for MTD or u-boot or
meta-freescale or OE so that I posted messages to several mailing
lists for help. Andrey Zhizhikin was very unhappy about it, he
believes it is your responsibility.

Could you please kindly respond if it is your jurisdiction and if you
tested and passed mx6ull with MTD UBI in gatesgarth branch or not?

My apology again for crossing mailing lists.

Kind regards,

- jupiter
