Bitbake generates link files that Easy Installer not recognize

My goal is to load python3 and pip on the module Colibri iMX6 Solo 256MB.

Toradex suggests, that you have to make your own image.
I followed the steps described on the link: OpenEmbedded (core) - Toradex System/Computer on Modules.
I work with Ubunu 20.04.2 LTS.
I choose the 5.0.0 BSP version.
In “local.conf” I set:
MACHINE ?= “colibri-imx6”
and add:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = “python3”
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python3-pyserial"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python3-pip"

I run bitbake core-image-minimal.
Bitbake successfully created files in /deploy/images/coliri-imx6.
The problem is that the same created files are not recognizable by Easy Installer.
These files are “link files”. Look attached picture.

link_files
link_files1324×823 86.6 KB

I manually delete links and rename tar files as defined in json file:“image-core-image-minimal.json”
After renaming the files, the “Easy installer” correctly recognized the files and also uploaded them and on the end reported that I can reboot the module.
After reboot, the module becomes “Dead”.

Is it the problem in Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS?

Is the problem 5.0.0 BSP version?

I am also attaching bitbake’s log file:bitbake-cookerdaemon.log (163.2 KB)

You should untar an image file which contains “Tezi” in its name to USB stick or SD card and flash it using Toradex Easy installer.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the help. Now everything works as it should.
Next time, I will read the instructions more carefully.
