layer compatibility error when bitbaking fsl-image-gui for MACHINE=imx8mm-var-dart and DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland #8

Closed timblaktu closed 3 months ago

Following the docker build env instructions with:

I am getting a layer compatibility error when building fsl-image-gui:

vari@fe84947c33fd:/workdir/build-mickledore-fsl-image-gui$ bitbake fsl-image-gui
ERROR: Layer chromium-browser-layer is not compatible with the core layer which only supports these series: mickledore (layer is compatible with dunfell gatesgarth honister kirkstone hardknott)

I interpret this error saying the layers defined in mickledore for DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland do not include chromium-browser-layer nor are compatible with it. What am I missing here? @nsdrude

Thanks @nsdrude. Does this mean that GitHub Issues and PRs aren't the best way to get help? I've registered for an account at varisciteportal.axosoft.com and am still waiting for the confirmation e-mail.

@timblaktu yes, the best way for support is using the support portal.

We'll accept PRs, but for support it's best to go through the portal for support

Thanks

Circling back to this publicly to make the issue resolution transparent to others...

Using the correct MACHINE value (imx8mp-var-dart), bitbake fsl-image-gui proceeds past the layer error.

Aside from obvious cockpit error on my part and making a typo/simple mistake, a big reason for why this happenened IMO was that I am only using containers for build environment, and from what I've seen, there is a great discrepancy between your machine-/release-specific host build instructions in the wiki and the docker build instructions, which appear to only exist in generic (and outdated) form. Please correct this if I'm missing something, i.e. send me a link to instructions for using machine-/release-specific instructions for building using containerized build env instead of host env.

@nsrude What I'd really like is a kas-based build. If anyone knows of any for var-som-imx8mp let me know. Otherwise, my plan is to fork this mender layer repo, which is implemented with kas, and add support for the var-som-imx8mp. @nsdrude let me know if you have any leads on this, or have interest in having me collaborate on a kas solution somewhere here in varigit.
