From: Fabio Estevam Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2018 22:45:37 +0000 (-0300) Subject: configs/imxsabre: Fix U-Boot parallel build issue X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0c4bccf9e882ffead426051cfe76764dd2ecaf83;p=buildroot.git configs/imxsabre: Fix U-Boot parallel build issue Sometimes imximage throws the following error: MKIMAGE u-boot-dtb.imx Error: No BOOT_FROM tag in board/freescale/mx6sxsabresd/imximage.cfg.cfgtmp arch/arm/imx-common/Makefile:91: recipe for target 'u-boot-dtb.imx' failed Later on, when running mkimage for the u-boot.imx it will succeed in finding the IVT offset. Looks like some race condition happening during parallel build when processing mkimage for u-boot-dtb.imx and u-boot.imx. A proper fix still needs to be implemented, but as a workaround let's remove the error when the IVT offset is not found. It is useful to have such message, especially during bring-up phase, but the build error that it causes is severe, so better avoid the build error for now. The error checking can be re-implemented later when we have a proper fix. This workaround has already been applied in mainline U-Boot: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=b5b0e4e351e20a606de22db6a56ad6bc1e2aa8fd Fixes: https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/jobs/59015347 Reported-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Fabio Estevam Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni --- diff --git a/board/freescale/imx6sabre/patches/uboot/0002-imximage-Remove-failure-when-no-IVT-offset-is-found.patch b/board/freescale/imx6sabre/patches/uboot/0002-imximage-Remove-failure-when-no-IVT-offset-is-found.patch new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..92eff7574d --- /dev/null +++ b/board/freescale/imx6sabre/patches/uboot/0002-imximage-Remove-failure-when-no-IVT-offset-is-found.patch @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ +From 24ba28680abe868e8db3442a9bf523ad3af1febd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 +From: Fabio Estevam +Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2018 08:25:00 -0300 +Subject: [PATCH] imximage: Remove failure when no IVT offset is found + +Sometimes imximage throws the following error: + + CFGS board/freescale/vf610twr/imximage.cfg.cfgtmp + CFGS board/freescale/vf610twr/imximage.cfg.cfgtmp + MKIMAGE u-boot-dtb.imx +Error: No BOOT_FROM tag in board/freescale/vf610twr/imximage.cfg.cfgtmp +arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile:100: recipe for target 'u-boot-dtb.imx' failed + +Later on, when running mkimage for the u-boot.imx it will succeed in +finding the IVT offset. + +Looks like some race condition happening during parallel build when +processing mkimage for u-boot-dtb.imx and u-boot.imx. + +A proper fix still needs to be implemented, but as a workaround let's +remove the error when the IVT offset is not found. + +It is useful to have such message, especially during bring-up phase, +but the build error that it causes is severe, so better avoid the +build error for now. + +The error checking can be re-implemented later when we have a proper +fix. + +Reported-by: Breno Lima +Reported-by: Thomas Petazzoni +Signed-off-by: Fabio Estevam +--- + tools/imximage.c | 5 ----- + 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) + +diff --git a/tools/imximage.c b/tools/imximage.c +index 0c43196..bef56f8 100644 +--- a/tools/imximage.c ++++ b/tools/imximage.c +@@ -765,11 +765,6 @@ static uint32_t parse_cfg_file(struct imx_header *imxhdr, char *name) + (*set_dcd_rst)(imxhdr, dcd_len, name, lineno); + fclose(fd); + +- /* Exit if there is no BOOT_FROM field specifying the flash_offset */ +- if (imximage_ivt_offset == FLASH_OFFSET_UNDEFINED) { +- fprintf(stderr, "Error: No BOOT_FROM tag in %s\n", name); +- exit(EXIT_FAILURE); +- } + return dcd_len; + } + +-- +2.7.4 +
