Hi all,

I have encountered an error while building the arm64 version of the xen 4.16 recipe in meta-virtualisation, using the master version of poky and meta-virtuaisation.
I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the issue or knew how to fix it. The error is as follows:

ERROR: xen-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_write_xen_qemuboot_dtb: ExecutionError('/home/edwpic01/work/master-update-xen/build/metavirt-host-arm64-4.16-release.prj/tmp/work/qemuarm64-poky-linux/xen-image-minimal/1.0-r0/temp/run.do_write_xen_qemuboot_dtb.3679135', 2, None, None)
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /home/edwpic01/work/master-update-xen/build/metavirt-host-arm64-4.16-release.prj/tmp/work/qemuarm64-poky-linux/xen-image-minimal/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_write_xen_qemuboot_dtb.3679135 .

I believe the relevant part of the log is as follows:

The above error was the result from building on x86_64-linux, target system was aarch64-poky-linux, running on a qemuarch64 machine, itself running on x86_64 linux.
As mentioned this was done on the master version of meta-virtualisation.
The bitbake command to generate this was bitbake xen-image-mininal.
The error is also present when building the xen 4.14 and xen 4.15 arm64 versions, and is not present on the arm32 or x86 builds for xen.
If anyone knows the cause of the error, the information would be appreciated.

Cheers!
