Hi,

When I build the Galileo IoT image following the link https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/f1/49/building_yocto_and__ipks.pdf, I am facing the below error:

==================================================================================

==================================================================================

During the initial setup, the command "git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel-iot-devkit" failed. After I replaced it with command "git clone http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel-iot-devkit", I was able to do a successful git clone.

Is there a way I can make use of "http" instead of "git" to download the sources? Or is there any other procedure to setup build environment for Galileo board?

[KRIS_J_Intel · Accepted solution]

The 'git' protocol is just one of many ways you might clone a Git repository. If HTTP works, but the git protocol doesn't, there is certainly nothing wrong with using HTTP. You wind up with the same clone either way.

The document you linked probably needs to be updated.

Alternatively, you could connect to an open (wifi) access point, and download using git protocol. Proxy seems to be the potential blocker.
