Buildroot error: Error running make EBE_OVERLAYS={ebe_overlays} -j7

[SvenBotha]

Hello,

I'm trying to do a standard build for the AA+10 module. I've been consistently getting the same error in my Ubuntu 22.04 VM:

....
+make EBE_OVERLAYS=/home/rrs/Documents/Projects/936/BSP/bsp-altera/out_20240515091631_Mercury_AA1_Mercury_PE1_MMC/overlays -j7

I've directly followed the steps in the documentation and I am working on the latest master branch. Is there any suggestions to fix this issue?

I've attached the build.log.

Hi

In your log file, I see following error:

wget --passive-ftp -nd -t 3 -O '/home/rrs/Documents/Projects/936/BSP/bsp-altera/sources/buildroot-rootfs/output/build/.attr-2.5.1.tar.xz.lbjrQ2/output' 'http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/attr/attr-2.5.1.tar.xz'

This could be caused by a network issue or when the download server (download.savannah.gnu.org) is not responding. To check if the server is not responding or the file is not available anymore, I tried to download the file manually (with: wget --passive-ftp -nd -t 3 -O 'attr-2.5.1.tar.xz' 'http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/attr/attr-2.5.1.tar.xz). This was successful. Can you try it again or check your network settings if you can access the download server?

Hi

It seems my company network was blocking the ftp attempt but switching the network and rerunning the build script has produced the following error:

ERROR: Error running make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- -j7 for U-Boot

I've attateched the new build.log.

According to your log file, a few build steps are missing:

Building U-Boot
U-Boot device-tree arch/arm/dts/enclustra_generated.dts created successfully
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- -j7

Compared to a build log on my machine (Ubuntu 22.04 vm), creating the enclustra_ebe_generated_defconfig file, executing "make enclustra_ebe_generated_defconfig" and running the qts-filter-a10.sh script is missing.

How did you start your build? Do you use the graphical interface by running "./build.sh" or do you build it via command line (e.g. "./build.sh -d Mercury_AA1/Mercury_PE1/MMC")? In the log file that is attached to your first message, U-Boot was built successfully. Did you change anything between these builds? Maybe it helps to start a build again from a newly cloned bsp-altera repository.
