Hi Rizwan,
For your three questions.
1) Modifying layers in “_toaster_clones”
To underline Belén’s comments (hi Belén!), the “_toaster_clones” is forcibly
refreshed every time a build starts. Here are your three choices:
(a) As per Belén, change your upstream to a custom updated/modified layer
(b) As per Brian, use the local project option instead of the upstream: this
is probably the easiest because “what you have is what you get”
(c) FYI, there is a hack to modify the default behavior and that is to get
rid of the reset --hard in "loclhostcontroller” (but then you are out of
warranty :-):
bitbake/lib/toaster/bldcontrol/localhostbecontroller.py:
self._shellcmd('git fetch --all && git reset --hard "%s"' % ref, localdirname)
2) Toaster workflow
Yes, that looks reasonable.
3) Toaster without Main Page
I get that whenever there is a Toaster/Django processing error, and the
rendering stops before it fills in the center project information.
In this case, you should look for error messages in (a) the shell where you
started Toaster, and/or (b) in “toaster_web.log” in your Toaster build
directory.

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.
Hi Rizwan,
I think I might be able to answer your first question, which is about the layer
development workflow with Toaster. In short, you should never make any changes
to the layers inside the _toaster_clones directory since, as you have observed,
those layers will be reset every time you start a new build.
If you want to make changes to an upstream layer, you should make a local clone
of that layer (outside the _toaster_clones directory) and make your changes in
that local clone. Then:
1) Remove the upstream layer(s) you are changing from the list of layers added
to your project, which are listed in the project configuration page
2) Using the "Import layer" functionality, import your local version of the
layer(s) where you are making your changes. You can either point Toaster to a
local directory or initialise the local directory as a Git repository and enter
the repository information. Note that you will have to give a new name to the
layers you are importing, since Toaster does not allow you to have 2 layers
with the same name inside a project.
I hope this explains.
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”).
This might be a bug in Morty.
Cheers
Belén
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

Hello,
I have been using toaster recently.
I am facing an issue while using Toaster with "Local Yocto Project release".
I am doing the following:
Trying to create an image for my imx6qsabrelite board.
1. Started Toaster.
2. Selected Local Yocto Project release.
3. Imported following layer into Toaster.
3.1. meta-freescale from:
https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/blob/master/README
3.2. meta-freescale-3rdparty(This supports the imx6qsabrelite machine) layer
from:
https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale-3rdparty/blob/master/README
4. Changed the machine as imx6qsabrelite
5. Started building core-image-minimal image for my imx6qsabrelite board.
The building starts as expected, but at some point of time I got an error
saying "no address associated with hostname" and the building stopped.
Since I cannot access repositories using "git:://git"(due to firewall) I need
to change it to https in the required file.
I manually browsed to the file and changed git to https, and pressed "rebuild"
button in Toaster.
Expected result: Toaster adapts my changes and clones the required repos using
https and rebuilds the image.
Obtained result : The changes I made to the file got "undone" and Toaster again
got stuck with the same error.
Please let me know how to solve this issue. I cannot use git for cloning due to
firewall, hence I want to be able to change git to https wherever required and
start rebuilding.
Sorry if the content is not clear, please let me know if any clarity is
required.
Awaiting your response.
Thanks,
Rizwan.
