Hi Sujith,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I am able to download the sources using https in command line.

And also Toaster is able to download the meta-freescale and
meta-freescale-3rdparty layers into “_toaster_clones” directory.

Query1: The actual issue I am facing is not regarding git access it’s about
Toaster behavior.

I will try to explain it clearly below:

When all the required layers are added in Toaster(I provide only the https
addresses of layers to be added in import layer of Toaster as mentioned in
my previous mail), machine is set and I start the build, Toaster clones the
meta-freescale and meta-freescale-3rdparty correctly into “_toaster_clones”
and starts the build as expected. Until this everything goes well.

But, later if I get into any error related to cloned layers, I manually do
changes to the required files inside "_toaster_clones" directory to resolve
the error.

When I do “rebuild” in Toaster after my changes, it removes the changes I
made previously and runs into the same error again.

I guess the problem is in this “Toaster will fetch and checkout your chosen
git revision each time you start a build”(See the screenshot
”ToasterMorty.png” attached), hence the changes I make manually to the
cloned layers inside _toaster_clones are never applied to the build.

Note: _toaster_clones directory in my case is stored inside
poky/_toaster_clones.

Please let me know what needs to be done. Am I doing anything wrong or this
is how Toaster works?

Query2: And I require one more clarity on the following regarding Toaster.

To build a minimal image for my imx6qsabrelite board using Toaster I follow
below steps
1. Clone poky and switch to krogoth/morty branch.
2. Start Toaster in Port 8000
3. Inside import layer of Toaster, added repo addresses of two layers I.e.
meta-freescale and meta-freescale-3rdparty and added them into Toaster.(In
total I have 5 layers, 3 default and 2 which I imported).
4. Change the machine to imx6qsabrelite.
5. Set Bitbake variable ACCEPT_FSL_EULA to 1.

6. Start building core-image-minimal.

Note: I am using "Local project release" in Toaster.

Are the above steps correct with respect to Toaster or am I missing
something?

Query3 (Not related to above 2 queries): One last thing, in morty release I
recently downloaded, I am not able to set machine variable(Please see the
screenshot “ToasterwithoutMainpage.png”).

Do you know what might have caused such behavior?

Please answer my above queries, as I want to resolve them ASAP.
Please let me know if any other information is required.

Thanks and regards,

Rizwan
Hi,

Are you able to download the sources with https from the command line? Just
wondering if the sources have been downloaded to the downloads folder or a
folder name which DL_DIR is pointing to in your case. If so toaster
shouldn't stop you from building the source. Just make sure that replacing
git with https works on the command line. If https works on the command
line, then you can also go for protocol=https. Also just make sure if you
have ACCEPT_FSL_EULA added in the bitbake variables of toaster.

Hope this helps you?

Thanks,
Sujith H
