Yocto (KERNEL 4.14) problem to generate IPK

Hello, since we have updated the yocto project with the new BSP (with kernel 4.14.x) we cannot generate the IPK packages. when we do the bitbake commands always return this trouble:

If we change the package type in conf/local.conf to RPM it works but in our system we don’t have RPM installed, only OPKG.

Plese help us. Thanks a lot

Could it be that you are talking about the now obsolete bring-up BSP? Please upgrade to our latest BSP 3.0b1:

Hi

Changing from RPM to IPK actually is a change which may make the build fail. (And obviously does here.)

The 3.0b1 BSP is using IPK so there you should not see the issue.

Please also compare with this commit.

Max

Ok but this commit is date Jan 2019, I’ve installed the new Yocto project last week, I think I have this commit included…

I think I’ve the latest BSP now! I’ve downloaded it last week

You probably don’t. And if you do that commit does fix your issue for a different kernel…

Actually as already said by Marcel, use 3.0b1.

If your really need to use the old bring-up BSP based on Sumo and you really need to change from RPM to IPK you would need to port said commit to the linux-toradex recipe.
