Hello Paul,

Thank you for reaching out!

The 502 error from source.denx.de (“Making sure you’re not a robot” and “Anubis” message) indicates a temporary issue on the U-Boot repository server. This can happen occasionally and is usually not a problem with your setup.

Here are some steps you can take:

  1. Wait and Retry: These issues are generally resolved on the server side. Try running your bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/bootloader command again after some time.

  2. Check Network Connection: Ensure your local internet is stable and that you can reach other sites.

  3. Clear Bitbake’s Cache: Sometimes the cache can cause repeat failures. You can clear the cache as follows:

    bitbake -c cleanall virtual/bootloader
bitbake -c fetch virtual/bootloader

  4. Alternative Mirrors: If your Yocto or OpenEmbedded setup supports specifying alternate sources, you may configure a mirror for U-Boot downloads.

  5. Firewall or Proxy Issues: Ensure there are no firewall or proxy restrictions that might interfere with your connection.

Additional information about U-Boot on Toradex modules can be found here:

This issue is upstream and out of your direct control, but it should resolve itself once denx.de’s server side clears up the issue.

Best regards,

Hello @BDSKPEF,

This looks like an infrastructure issue with the servers hosting upstream u-boot at DENX.
You can either wait for it to be resolved or alter the u-boot recipe to use our mirror: https://git.toradex.com/u-boot-toradex.git

We actually did this change recently in our BSP: meta-toradex-bsp-common.git - Toradex BSP layer, recipes common to all modules

Best Regards,
