How to solve this situation where bitbake do_fetch() is freezing or stopping, with Yocto and Raspberry Pi?

I ran the command

bitbake core-image-minimal

terminal screen shot

This is my step:

git clone poky
git clone meta-raspberrypi
source oe-init-build-env rpi-build
rpi-build/conf/bblayer.conf # adding meta-raspberrypi
rpi-build/conf/local.conf # modify MACHINE ?= "raspberrypi3"
bitbake core-image-minimal # (actually I also ran other image "rpi-hwup-image", "core-image-full-cmdline")

How can I do this problem?

$ps aux | grep core-image-minimal

Solution

  • Bitbake has probably not crashed, it's just that the folks behind Raspberry Pi have created an enormous git-repository, with lots of binary files. It takes a long time to clone...

    If I remember correctly, the bootfiles are taken from the Raspberry Pi firmware repo. My bare clone is currently 5.4GiB...
