I am trying to build a yocto image for raspberrypi3 and i got this when typing bitbake rpi-test-image :

@MohamedSa3eed are you running bitbake as root? I assume you are not.

Maybe log.do_rootfs has some clues as to why this error is occurring.

[fvasquez]

Closing this issue since the Raspberry Pi 3 is not one of the targets supported by the book.

[MohamedSa3eed]

I was running bitbake on a virtual machine because my distribution isn't supported by Yocto. I switched to using Docker instead, and now everything works fine.

Lots of things won't work when running on a distribution that isn't supported by Yocto.
