bitbake

I am trying to learn yocto by following the video tutorials on their main website. I installed the poky-rocko-18.0.0 and after setting up the build environment I tried to build the linux image using the following command:

bitbake core-image-minimal

However, I am getting the following error:

bitbake error

I am unsure how to start the bitbake server and so far have not found any good references for the same.

My problem was some missing packages on my build system.

Fixed it by installing the following packages (Debian):

sudo apt-get install chrpath
sudo apt-get install texinfo

On my Arch system:

sudo pacman -S rpcsvc-proto chrpath texinfo cpio diffstat
