My problem description is almost identical to @lroundy’s problem.
repo init command:
repo init -u http://git.toradex.com/toradex-bsp-platform.git -b LinuxImageV2.8 bitbake -k console-tdx-image
I have run this bitbake command many times without a problem. Starting yesterday bitbake got stuck on the do_fetch tasks on the following recipes:
linux-toradex u-boot-toradex u-boot-toradex-something-else-may-have-been-fsl-fw-utilities
Eventually, the two u-boot-toradex fetches completed successfully, but the linux-toradex fetch never completed. As with lroundy’s experience, the bitbake fetch progress bar filled with ‘#’ to 95% but the lessthan-equals-greaterthan symbol slid back and forth in the progress lane forever, with no progress at all.
After more than an hour, the human timeout kicked in, because I thought something was wrong. I pressed Ctl-C once, got the “wait a minute while I complete this fetch in progress” message, and then pressed Ctl-C a second time.
I have a second bitbake project on my workstation, so I tried the same command
bitbake -k console-tdx-image
in that project, and got the same result.
I decided to try just fetching linux-toradex. When I ran the commands:
bitbake -c clean linux-toradex bitbake linux-toradex bitbake -c cleansstate linux-toradex bitbake linux-toradex bitbake -c cleanall linux-toradex bitbake linux-toradex
the BitBake output was always something like this:
Initialising tasks: 100% |#############...###| Time: 0:00:000 NOTE: Executing SetScene Tasks NOTE: Executing RunQueue Tasks Currently 1 runnning tasks (306 of 614) 49% |############### ... | 0: linux-toradex-4.9-1.0.x+gitAUTOINC+07d40f6ffc-r0 do_fetch (pid 8036) | <=> |
Running strace on the PID for the do_fetch returned this output:
$ sudo strace -p 8036

NOTE: While I was trying to replicate the problem in order to write this question, ‘bitbake linux-toradex’ suddenly slipped out of stuck mode and started working. I was about to delete this question, but the fetch got to about 34%, and then slipped back into this stuck mode. I now have the following new entries in my ‘downloads’ directory:
$ ll *linux-toradex* -rw-rw-r-- 1 rdepew rdepew 1586575429 Jan 10 2018 git2_git.toradex.com.linux-toradex.git.tar.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 rdepew rdepew 0 Sep 28 08:01 git2_git.toradex.com.linux-toradex.git.tar.gz.done -rw-rw-r-- 1 rdepew rdepew 0 Sep 28 07:25 git2_git.toradex.com.linux-toradex.git.tar.gz.lock
but the ‘fetch’ is still stuck.
