Error while building Raspberry pi 3 images using yocto

Thu Feb 23, 2017 1:47 pm

Trying to build images for Raspberry pi 3 using yocto by referring http://kernelhacks.com/raspberry-pi-3-with-yocto/, while running bitbake command it is giving parsing error
In the build log, it says error while executing a python function, but no details about the error.
I could see the exception "Exception: TypeError: getVar() takes at least 3 arguments (2 given)". But in many yocto layers I could see getVar is taking only two arguments.

Re: Error while building Raspberry pi 3 images using yocto

Long shot: maybe the tutorial assumed Raspbian, but it looks like you're running Ubuntu.

Yocto's a pretty limited embedded Linux. It's not much fun as a general-use distribution.
