U-Boot Repository Access Issues for Verdin AM62

Based on your error logs, you’re experiencing connectivity issues with the Toradex U-Boot repository over HTTPS. This appears to be a network-related problem that has been reported by other users in the community (1).

Root Cause Analysis

The error you’re seeing suggests either:

  1. Network connectivity issues - SSL/TLS handshake failures or firewall restrictions
  2. Temporary server issues - As noted in community discussions, these can be transient (1) (2)
  3. Repository URL changes - The manifest may need updates

Recommended Solutions

1. Verify Network Connectivity

First, test if you can access the repository directly:

# Test HTTPS access
curl -I https://git.toradex.com/u-boot-toradex.git

# Test git protocol access  
git ls-remote git://git.toradex.com/u-boot-toradex.git

2. Update Your Build Configuration

For TI AM62x-based modules like Verdin AM62, the correct U-Boot source should be fetched from the downstream repository (3) (4):

  • U-Boot Source: Downstream
  • U-Boot Git Branch: toradex_ti-u-boot-2024.04 (for BSP 7.x.y) (3)
  • Repository: https://git.toradex.com/u-boot-toradex.git (4)

3. Check BSP Version Compatibility

Since you’re using Kirkstone (6.x.y), ensure your BSP layers are compatible. The community has reported successful builds with proper configuration (1). Consider updating to a more recent BSP version if possible, as BSP 7.1.0 includes improvements for AM62-based modules (5).

4. Alternative Repository Access

If HTTPS continues to fail, you can modify your Yocto recipes to use the git protocol. However, be careful with manifest changes as they can affect other repositories.

5. Build Environment Verification

Ensure your build environment has:

  • Stable internet connection
  • No proxy/firewall blocking git.toradex.com
  • Sufficient disk space (120GB recommended) (2)
  • All required dependencies installed (3)

Immediate Workaround

If the issue persists, try:

  1. Clean your build cache: bitbake -c cleansstate u-boot-toradex-ti
  2. Retry the build - Network issues are often transient (1) (2)
  3. Check for updated manifests - Toradex regularly updates repository configurations

Long-term Recommendation

Consider migrating to a more recent BSP version (7.1.0 or later) which includes updated repository configurations and improved support for Verdin AM62 modules (5).
