Error in installing awsiot #4061

Closed nealdeore closed 1 year ago

nealdeore commented 1 year ago

I am trying to install awsiot on yocto build for Rpi4b

I added below line to local.conf - IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2 python3-pip"

I am facing below error - ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2' (but /home/...../poky/meta/recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal.bb RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it) NOTE: Runtime target 'aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2' is unbuildable, removing... Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2'] ERROR: Required build target 'core-image-minimal' has no buildable providers. Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['core-image-minimal', 'aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2']

I have a recipe under meta-openembedded/meta-python/receipes-devtools/python named "aws-iot-device-python_1.4.8.bb"

I am new to yocto. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you

Hi Neal,

Were you able to add the meta-aws layer to your bblayers.conf file?

It also appears that you are on an older release. If you have nothing else tying you to that release, we recommend using a newer one such as Kirkstone.

Hi Nate,

I do not have a meta-aws layer. this python3-aws-iot-device-sdk-python_1.4.8.bb file is under meta-openembedded/meta-python/recipes-devtool/python.

nateglims commented 1 year ago

Ah, I see. I think the issue is that they do not have the -v2 recipe. You should add python3-aws-iot-device-sdk-python to your image or add our layer and use the v2 recipe.

nealdeore commented 1 year ago

could you please guide me how can i add your layer to use the v2 recipe. Apologies if this is a dumb question but I am new to this and trying to learn.

Sure. If you are using Poky you can use bitbake-layers after activating your build environment to add the dependency layers and meta-aws to your layer config.

git clone -b $RELEASE https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
git clone -b $RELEASE https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
git clone -b $RELEASE https://github.com/aws4embeddedlinux/meta-aws.git

. ./poky/oe-init-build-env build

bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-oe
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-python
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-networking
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-aws

Where $RELEASE Is the yocto release you are using.

Your conf/bblayers.conf file should then have a variable BBLAYERS that lists all the layers.

Then add to your config (conf/local.conf):

(dunfell or later)

IMAGE_INSTALL:append = "aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2"

Before dunfell:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2"

We do recommend using more recent releases if possible.
