Regarding offline build


Amit Kumar <Amit.Kumar@...>
 

Hi,

            I have quarry regarding the Yocto Project build offline.

Is that possible to build the Yocto Project with internet access?

I have download the poky-<latest>.tar.bz2, now I wants to build it independently without having internet connection.

Do I need to download any other packages also to build it offline?

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards

Amit K

Amit – you will definitely need an internet connection. What you downloaded is just the build tools and metadata which tells bitbake where to find the sources on the internet.

If you want to build without an internet connection, you might try downloading the build appliance. It's a larger download but contains all of the sources.

If you know what you want to build (i.e. core-image-sato), then
telling bitbake to fetch the sources when you do have a connection
should be mostly sufficient:

$ bitbake core-image-sato -c fetchall

This will download all the sources and put them in the downloads
directory that you've configured in local.conf.

We do offline builds.  You need to download all the tar balls for all the open source recipes you build, or you can download pre-build images and SDK.  Another way is to create a local mirror of all the tar balls you need.

Hi Mr. Lee,

            Thanks for replay.

I have still doubt to build offline. I have downloaded all the tar files, now what I should have to do? Do I need to modify all the *.bb files.

Do you have any example to build it offline.

 

I wants to build the MCSDK uses the Yocto Project. So for that I have download the mcsdk tar ball, which gives me all tar balls.

Now I am not getting how to process to build Yocto project.

 

If you have any idea please let me know.

 

Thanks & regards

Amit K

Here are the lines in our local.conf that make it work.  If you want you can use a local http mirror instead of file.

Amit, sorry to be a pain but would you mind attaching the error report as a

It's trying to download quilt, autoconf, etc, so it appears that you
either failed to download all the sources when you were connected, or
your build configuration isn't finding the files you'd downloaded.
Did you run bitbake [some target] -c fetchall?

The missing step is you haven't populated DL_DIR (defaults to downloads/ under
the build directory) with files that would normally be downloaded by the
system, so it is attempting to download them and stopping because
BB_NO_NETWORK is set, hence:

| ERROR: Function failed: Network access disabled through BB_NO_NETWORK

The easiest thing to do is to go to a machine that does have full internet
access, untar poky, source oe-init-build-env and then run:

bitbake -c fetchall <imagename>

Then copy the contents of DL_DIR to the machine without network access and you
should be ready to go.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi,
I have tried the steps suggested by Mr. Paul.
But still i am facing an error to build yocto project offline.
First - I use the machine that have full Internet access and execute the - bitbake -c fetchall core-image-minimal
Before that i have enabled the DL_DIR in conf/local.conf file.

One the fetching done, i remove the internet and build the image - bitbake -k core-image-minimal
But still i am facing an error, some packages still required internet access during build.

Please find the attached error log with this mail.
Please let me know if i missed out any step.


Thanks & Regards
Amit K
