Re: Ubuntu 14.04: Not able to build new rootfs for yocto

Altera_Forum · ‎05-02-2017

Hi all,

I am using Cyclone V SOC kit and try to enable CAN by following this thread:

http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42747

However I stuck in building rootfs for yocto, although I followed the instructions here:

http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/documentation/gsrdgettingstartedyocto

It always failed ubuntu 14.04 with error shown below.

I read somewhere that Ubuntu 12.04 should be use, but version 12.04 seem to be too old for my workstation where the network not working.

Is there anyway to build rootfs for yocto with Ubuntu 14.04 or newer version?

At the end, i borrowed an old system to install Ubuntu 12.04 just to build this.....

Seem like no solution with newer version of Ubuntu

Thanks for updating this... I have run into the same problem and was searching for an answer. Darn, this is not good.
