I am getting an error on only one of our many build machines when building u-boot. This particular machine is the only one running Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. We have several other build nodes running Ubuntu

A few weeks ago, our NFS-mounted sstate-cache was about 748 GB in size. I ran the script "sstate-cache-management.sh". It took a very long time (about two hours) but was able to free up 307 GB of spac

Is the sstate cache sensitive to different releases and or the ordering of the bblayers? We are upgrading our Yocto-based distro from dunfell to hardknott. So for a while we will be building our distr

Hello, I am trying to get filenames with utf-8 chars to appear correctly when doing the "ls" command. Currently, "ls" will output the filename but replace the international char with "?". For example

Related to this topic of setting up a cluster of build nodes: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/85515144 We have multiple build nodes right now configured to use a shared SSTATE cache and s

We are building our software with a Yocto SDK we created against our imx8m board. We would like to be able to execute unit tests (C++ tests written in Google Test) quickly without having to copy our u

Thanks for the replies, Richard. Can SSTATE_DIR be shared across build hosts with different OS's (Ubuntu 18.04, ubuntu 20.04, etc, RHEL)? Our build hosts are somewhat ephemeral. Occasionally we need t

Below is an accidental DM between Richard and myself. I am posting it here for others. > When setting up a shared sstate cache via NFS, do all the build hosts have > read/write access to the sstate ca

Hello, We are having a problem with the PR server resetting the PR number it is returning for a given package/arch/checksum. Our setup is as follows: We have multiple linux servers being used as build

Steve, you're right. My image.bb is adding various lmsensors packages to the IMAGE_INSTALL, some of which depend on perl-modules. perl-modules seems to be the big monster, not perl. We need lmsensors.

I have an image that is using debian package management (PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_deb"). Because apt and dpkg require perl, perl is being installed in the image. No problem. Except that the entire p

"time bitbake recipe" is perfect for manual things. But I wanted to also measure the recipe times when building the entire image. I ended up creating a bbappend with new pre/post tasks for the main ta

Is there a way to automatically record build time of a recipe without modifying the recipe itself? I have a recipe that is a monster, it has many git URIs and produces many packages that are coupled.

Hello, I am relatively new to yocto, and I am working on several recipes at the moment and I'm wondering about using wildcards in my FILES_{PN} list. None of the packages have more than 5 or 6 files t
