Hello,

I'm trying to rebuild the open-embedded image but whatever I tried to do when I'm following the tutorial : https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Dragonboard-410c-OpenEmbedded-and-Yocto.
When I'm trying to run the "bitbake rpb-console-image" cmd I just keep getting the same error after a while:

ERROR: Exception during parse: Traceback (most recent call last): ETA: 00:01:29
File "/home/ubuntu/Yocto/oe-qcom/bitbake/lib/bb/cooker.py", line 2102, in parse_next
parsed, result = self.results.next()
File "/home/ubuntu/Yocto/oe-qcom/bitbake/lib/bb/cooker.py", line 2088, in parse_generator
result = self.result_queue.get(timeout=0.25)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/queues.py", line 135, in get
res = self._recv()
TypeError: ('init() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)', <class 'bb.process.CmdError'>, ())

I'm trying to build it in a VMware with ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bits but also with a debian 32bits
I also try to build it on the dragonboard itself but I still get the same error.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Could one of those that publish the builds give his environment ?

Thanks by advance,

Jerome.

hi,

i have seen that issue, few weeks ago. OTOH it was a mismatch between openembeded-core and bitbake git tree versions, which i had fixed in the manifest (i am not entirely sure.. vaguely rings a bell..)

can you please make sure to be on the latest (e.g. run repo sync)? and try again?

for further debug, please send output of

repo manifest -r
repo info
repo status

[jtis]

Thanks for you answer ndec,
Same result with a new repo sync.
The result for the commands you ask below.

hi,

i am not quite sure what's going on.. can you try to delete this file:

./cache/bb_codeparser.dat

(it's in the build folder)

or if you can just delete the entire build folder to restart from a clean state.

[jtis]

hi,

I already tried to build it 3 times from scratch and got the same error.
But I will give another try tonight.

Thanks for your time,

Jerome.

Hi,

I started again to build a new environment in a new repo but same results. Here is what I did :
After the
I tried to build 4 times the image rpb-desktop-image
I deleted the build rep
I did a ". setup environment" to recreate the build rep
I then use the commands "bitbake cleanstate"
I deleted the build rep
I did a ". setup environment" to recreate the build rep
I then use the commands "bitbake listtasks"

The commands always failed during parsing the recipes for any previous command below are the results:

Hello,

Ok so after few days I finally figured out what was wrong and solved this problem.

This error was simply caused by a lack of memory. My VM's were running with 1Go of RAM + 1 Go of swap.
I extended the RAM to 3Go and it works now like a charm.

Jérôme.

ah, great. well at least thanks for letting us know and keeping a trace of the resolution here.. for sure the errors were very explicit.. but that's usually the case when the OOM killer comes in..
