fbreHi, yocto also builds u-boot but it's not enough because I also must use tools like 'mfg' or 'uuu' to build a bootable image. First, is it supported by yocto? Second, if yes, where are its config files?07:26
*** T_UNIX <T_UNIX!uid218288@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-hqwqytqwriwnyfnj> has joined #yocto07:26
LetoThe2ndfbre: well you already asked yesterday. it is supported just the same it is in u-boot07:26
LetoThe2ndfbre: so if a specific u-boot configuration is needed to trigger that, then make sure your u-boot recipe also selects that specific needed machine configuration07:27
LetoThe2ndfbre: if on the other hand you need some tool that is *NOT* included in u-boot, then you'll need to either find or write a recipe for it07:28
LetoThe2ndfbre: giving the layer index a quick skim for "mfg" suggests that you might want to start hunting here: http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/recipes/?q=mfg07:29
fbrehmm, I have a yocto manual of NXP for their eval board, it also uses some freescale yocto layers, but I don't find config files for the generation of bootable images. That's why I'm asking. I'm not sure if it's an NXP-related problem or if there's a general approach already in the poky layer07:30
LetoThe2ndfbre: have you actually looked at the link?07:31
fbreoh thanks, no, but thanks, I'll have a look now07:32

fbreReading all the recipes mentioned in http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/recipes/?q=mfg is hell. What I need is a description of the concept behind. But there is nothing but tons of PDFs describing not what I want. *sigh*08:10

fbreIt's like being stucked in an adventure, but without having cheat codes to move on... :-/08:12
LetoThe2ndfbre: well if it is hardware that you bought, then go to your supplier and demand proper support. if you're a hardware manufacturer yourself, well then this is part of your job08:13
*** rburton <rburton!~rburton@35.106.2.81.in-addr.arpa> has joined #yocto08:19
fbreThe supplier support is their web forum, but all I usually get after hours of multiple question/answer iterations are links to PDFs describing details over details and refer to other PDFs with details over details, but no description of the relevant main concept. I bet it's actually said in less than 10 sentences. Absolutely frustrating.08:20
varjagfbre: freescale has image recipes08:20
LetoThe2ndfbre: choose a better supplier :)08:21
fbreThe product gives the hardware price limit, and the price limit gives the supplier ;)08:22
LetoThe2ndfbre: and the price limits the support they can give you. its always the same dance. if you invest less in support to get, the more you have to do yourself08:22
varjagwe get our NXP based SOM $35 a pop and vendor support is fine08:25
varjagit has to be much cheaper than that then08:25
*** BCMM <BCMM!~BCMM@unaffiliated/bcmm> has joined #yocto08:25
LetoThe2nda direct comparison of prices is not as easy as it often seems, if you take in account lead times, batch sizes, and guaranteed pricing for extended periods of time08:27
tz(generally) unless you're building the vendor-supplied image, then it's likely you'll need to put in some work in order to get any modifications to function the way you want08:28
tzI tend to view yocto/oe as an enabler rather than an out-of-the-box solution08:28
LetoThe2ndbut generally my stance is: if you pick cheap hw with cheap support, then good luck. i don't see it as the responsibility of volunteers (like me, other paid supporters may differ, of course) to fix that support shortage08:29
fbreI see, my build-wayland/tmp/deploy/images/imx8... directory is full of files like images, u-boot, *.bin and stuff, and I also see mfg and uuu tool is somehow working by their recipes, but no idea what it's all about and how their general yocto concept is for generating bootable images. What I need is a top-down approach of docs: "What images does booting expect? What is necessary to do to get there?"08:29
LetoThe2ndfbre: call mentor, wind river, etc and they'll happily do that stuff for you.08:29
LetoThe2ndfbre: you can of course always look at the recipe, find out who submitted them and ask tehre.08:31
fbreyes, what I dislike is to purchase expansive support for things like explaining the overall concept in an understandable way which should actually be as a matter of course for every documentation08:32
LetoThe2ndwhich in the initrafs image example is otivio08:32
LetoThe2nds/otivio/otavio/08:32
LetoThe2ndotavio: ^^^^^^08:32
LetoThe2ndfbre: well then go to nxp and your hw vendor and claim "this should actually be a matter of every documentation"08:32

lastaidhello there. i was wondering if anybody has a good idea on how to build an image file after building yocto for the raspberry pi. to speed up the build i created a remote VM, but i do not have a dedicated SD card slot for that one09:00
LetoThe2ndlastaid: i do not understand the question09:00
lastaidok. i followed this guide: https://jumpnowtek.com/rpi/Raspberry-Pi-Systems-with-Yocto.html09:01
lastaidit worked great and now i have all the binaries build. i am wondering now, how can i create an image file instead of copying the files to a physical SD card manually.09:02
lastaidthe build machine does not have access to an SD card reader or any peripherals09:02
lastaidi want an image i can flash with win32diskimager or dd09:02
LetoThe2ndlastaid: i personally have idea what the jumpteks are doing, but the "yocto-official" meta-raspberrypi layer provides exactly that: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/meta-raspberrypi/about/09:06

lastaidsveinse: thanks. i do like systemd more, but now i am suffering from this issue described here https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2018-May/041037.html12:40
sveinselastaid: yeah, I've given up having a splash in the startup. Since it boots in <10 secs, this was acceptable by the product owner12:42
lastaidi'll check but i am getting around 15 seconds on my pi3. but yeah, having a around <=8 second boot time would be prefereable12:43
lastaidsveinse: last time i just wrote a quick logo to the framebuffer during boot12:44
sveinselastaid: we had a splash in the bootloader too, but in our HW the kernel does a display teardown and reinit, so the splash lasted 0.5secs :(12:45
lastaidi'll try to lower boottime then ^^12:46
rburtonlastaid: systemd can be a lot faster unless you've such a minimal system that a init service is useless and you can just straight into your app12:51
rburtonsveinse: says that qemu-user works reliably and can be used to run target code on the build host12:52

timblechmannrburton, seebs: i'd like to run my tool to see the image as root filesystem (alternatively i'll have to prefix zillinons of APIs on my side) ...15:23
timblechmannwould there be other tools/techniques that i might miss?15:23
rburtonmost things just know how to work in a subdir :)15:27
seebshmm. usually the chroot stuff provided is "good enough". I think the behavior of realpath is a compromise -- if we don't give real host-system paths, some other stuff breaks.15:27
seebswhat's the tool in question?15:28
sveinseI'm curious how realpath can sneak past the chroot jail15:28
rburtonbecause its pseudo's fake-chroot15:28
seebsit's actually intentional-ish15:29
*** florian <florian!~florian_k@Maemo/community/contributor/florian> has quit IRC15:29
seebshmm. i'm not actually sure what would break if we just changed realpath. it needs to do its path resolution inside the chroot directory, but it might be sane for it to then return the path relative to that directory.15:30
sveinseaha, chroot is a privileged op, so in order for pseudo to work unprivileged it cant use real chroot15:30
seebsand we don't actually entirely want it to!15:30
seebsfor instance, if you exec /bin/sh, we want to execute the host /bin/sh, because it will actually run15:30
sveinseI see15:31
seebsit turns out the entire idea of pseudo is completely insane15:31
seebsand no one should ever have tried to do such a thing15:31
seebsit did lead to a really funny conversation, though15:31
seebsi commented on the relatively small number of string-manipulation bugs in pseudo (one i can remember, a special-case off-by-one error in the path resolution code), and someone started lecturing me on how i shouldn't have done this in C, I should have done it in Python.15:32
rburtonnot sure how one writes a preload library in python15:32
rburtonrust, however ;)15:33
seebsdid rust *exist* in 2008 or so?15:33
seebsin the medium-to-long term, i suspect pseudo's doomed -- too many things that don't always go through libc.15:34
LetoThe2ndRP: ++ on mal15:34
LetoThe2ndmail, even.15:34
sveinseI can do one worse: We had a similar system in our pre-OE build system. It created a sysroot for building using the target machine, so the "pseudo" tool depended on both chroot and on binfmt to execute armhf binaries on intel...15:35
*** scottrif <scottrif!~scottrif@47.39.60.15> has joined #yocto15:37
RPseebs: I think pseudo has done quite well all things considered :)15:38
sveinseWell, that a bit unfair, it does work, but requires elevated privileges and is slow since some executables can be armhf binaries. It was the only way back in 2011 that I was able to compile the loads of software that blindly assume that you can run the executable which you are compiling15:38
sveinseIt is essentially containers, which has become immensely popular a few years later15:40
seebsi am really pleased with how long it's stayed viable.15:40
seebsi am still very positively impressed with WR management at the time15:40
seebswe were already arguably late on our schedule, but i went to them with my argument for "no, really, we *have* to replace fakeroot", and they let me try it.15:41
seebsi think the highlight was a patch that made something like six different changes to try to make fakeroot more reliable, and appeared to help some in testing15:41
seebsand then we noticed something weird, and it turns out, four lines *above* the patch, in the makefile, there was a missing \, so *none of the changes had any effect at all*.15:42
seebsand the fact that we *could not tell this* was what finally convinced me that we had Insufficient Confidence In This Code.15:42
sveinseWhen I started with OE, I rember being impressed by pseudo. I was thinking something like "oh, that's smart. I've should've thought of that for our project." The db handling which enables multiple sessions15:42
seebsit was very much built in terms of "what is everything that has ever frustrated me even once in fakeroot"15:42
seebsi don't wanna imply that the fakeroot people are bad, btw. it's an insanely hard problem, and you have to try things to find out what works.15:43
sveinseYeah, one "side effect" is that you have to go via. tarballs rather than sharing unpacked dirs to be able to retain proper permissions unless the database of permissions can be kept15:44

jrypkecQuick question: What is the correct way to pass a library to oe_runmake? ld is complaining that it can't find a library specified by DEPENDS in the recipe. Like what directory should I include (-L) for LDFLAGS for things installed by the recipe18:05
kergothjrypkec: you don't need to set anything if the other recipe installed to the right place, as long as your buildysstem is obeying our CC/LD vars18:07
kergothas we pass —sysroot=18:07
jrypkecOk thank you18:10
kergothso i'd 1) make sure the other recipe put the right files in the right place, and 2) make sure our CC/LD are being passed into the underlying buildsysstem. check the compile log18:11
sveinseI keep getting a taskhash mismatch error. Even when I'm running bitbake -c clean on the very recipe that complains about taskhash mismatch. I'd hope the clean could be sufficient18:14
sveinseI fixed it by erasing build/tmp and start over. This is the most effective way to fix taskhash mismatches. I just <3 the sstate cache mechanism. Beautiful!18:18
kergothhash mismatches usually result from the metadata changing out from u nder bitbake, which usually is caused by timestamps or reading from external files that mght or might not exist. though that's more often basehash than taskhash, admittedly18:19
sveinseyeah, I've had more than one attempt at hunting them down, but they are very elusive or cryptic unfortunately18:20
kergoththere's a bitbake patch floating around that's useful for that, it dumps the intermediate basehashes, not just the final, so you can compare18:20

kergothit's just a way to allow more specific information to be used in preference to less specific information. info about a board is better than info about its architecture which is better than the global defaults20:18
kergothconceptually it's almost a layering mechanism, though not our layers20:19
kergothit's reflected both in OVERRIDES (see bitbake.conf) and the order the files are included in bitbake.conf (where viable, also see bitbake.conf)20:19
sveinseProblem is that it is combined with scoping and operator declarations too e.g.  PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-qtbase20:20
kergothit's just a conditional20:25
kergothappend/prepend/remove if this condition is true20:25
sveinseAs for the above problem: it worked putting PACKAGECONFIG_GL_pn-qtbase_forcevariable = "", but I don't understand why PACKAGECONFIG_GL_pn-qtbase = "" won't. And what is "forcevariable"? I understand it an arbitrary override name, but it isn't declared or set anywhere so why did it take effect?20:25
kergothno more complex than an if statement20:25
kergothmost likely a machine or distro config was setting PACKAGECONFIG_GL_pn-qtbase already, after you set yours20:25
kergothforcevariable *is* declared somewhere, in OVERRIDES, as i said earlier20:26
kergothits purpose is exactly this, to let the user override something from local.conf regardless of any other overrides in play, as it's the highest priority one20:26
sveinseoh, is is, yeah. lots of it in the sources20:26
kergothit's purely brute force, ideally we woudln't have to use it, but it's useful for working around casese where someone forgot to use ?= in machine .conf or distro .conf20:27
sveinseI can't origin from the machine nor the distro, as I'm controlling both20:27
kergothuse bitbake -e.20:27
sveinseit can't20:27
kergothnot only does it show you the value, but it shows you the history of varaible changes20:27
kergothwhat lines in what files set it the way it is20:27
sveinseDid you see the my paste above?20:27
kergothso drop the _forcevariable, use bitbake -e and20:27
sveinseThere is the history of it20:28
kergothsee where the value is coming from20:28
kergothyep, i see it now. what you're missing is that overrides have a priority20:28
kergoththis is how we implement specificity20:28
sveinseright20:28
kergothboth arm and ${MACHINE} are in overrides, but if both are set, the latter wins20:28
kergothit's the order of items in OVERRIDES, much like the order in PATH20:29
sveinsegot it20:29
kergothit's complex, but we had to have a way to allow this sort of layering of information across all the metadata everywhere, regardless of where it was coming from20:29
kergoth(thinkingn back to the original design discussions)20:29
kergoththe alternative would have been to implement actual conditionals in the file format, but taht's more imperative, and order of operations becomes much more critical in that sort of setup20:30
sveinseIt's an odd assumption made by the machine layer vendor: Assuming that you the machine has opengl support you definitely want to compile qt5 with opengl. But I don't...20:30

sveinseas to the design discussion yes: I see the purpose of it. And it is powerful. But implicit syntax, rather than declarative, is very difficult to trace. Just look at m4 or tex. However, the bitbake -e function is a lifesaver in terms of determining the lifecycle of the var20:33
sveinseThat said, I didn't understand from the -e output why my var was overwridden by an override. I had to seek advice for it.20:34
miikeHello there... I was just reading about RCONFLICTS in the yocto reference (https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.6.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-RCONFLICTS) and the example even though it's probably wrong confirms my suspicion, that RCONFLICTS has also the effect of  RDEPENDS. Is this really the case?20:38
miikeRCONFLICTS_${PN} = foo (< 1.0) is equal to RDEPENDS_${PN} = foo(>=1.0) ?20:40
miikemaybe not equal but similar20:41
kergothsveinse: hmm, yes, it shows the override values being set, but not why it chose one over another. arguably that's a bug in bitbake -e, it should show something about the overrides priority. could open a bug?20:49
