Petalinux 2020.1 failed to compile with tagged version

Question

Hello,

I am trying to build petalinux using ./make_uz7ev_evcc.sh

I set both the petalinux and the hdl version to tag 2020p1_uz_petalinux_UZ7EV_EVCC_20201104_065342

I am using Vitis 2020.1.

When the code runs create_petalinux_project(), it fails at

petalinux-config --silentconfig --get-hw-description=./hw_platform/ -p ${PETALINUX_PROJECTS_FOLDER}/${PETALINUX_PROJECT_NAME}

with:

[INFO] generating user layers

ERROR: Failed to add user layer: /home/pdaye/workspace/ultrazed/git/avnet/petalinux/projects/uz7ev_evcc_2020_1/project-spec/meta-user

ERROR: Failed to config project.

ERROR: Get hw description Failed!

Does anyone have an idea to the reason why it is happening?

Yours,

Pierre

Hi there, I think you changed the wrong variable. You do not change the version from 2020.1. That needs to stay the same. The only thing that would change is the meta-avnet definition in common.sh. However, you should not have to modify that either. All you need to do is pull down that tag itself. All the variables, tagstamp.txt and anything else would be setup properly. Here is a script that I use when I am working with the 2020.1 tags/tips/etc. copy of getClones.sh # Zynq 7000 (non-Vitis)
#branchTag=2020p1_minized_petalinux_MINIZED_20201104_065342
#branchTag=2020p1_mz_petalinux_MZ7010_FMCCC_20201104_065342
#branchTag=2020p1_mz_petalinux_MZ7020_FMCCC_20201104_065342
#branchTag=2020p1_pz_petalinux_PZ7010_FMC2_20201104_065342
#branchTag=2020p1_pz_petalinux_PZ7015_FMC2_20201104_065342
#branchTag=2020p1_pz_petalinux_PZ7020_FMC2_20201104_065342
#branchTag=2020p1_pz_petalinux_PZ7030_FMC2_20201104_065342

# UltraScale+ (Vitis Capable)
#branchTag=2020p1_ultra96v2_oob_ULTRA96V2_20201104_065342
#branchTag=2020p1_uz_petalinux_UZ3EG_IOCC_20201104_065342
#branchTag=2020p1_uz_petalinux_UZ3EG_PCIEC_20201104_065342
branchTag=2020p1_uz_petalinux_UZ7EV_EVCC_20201104_065342

#branchTag=2020.1

if [ -z ${PETALINUX_VER+x} ]; 
then 
 echo "PETALINUX_VER is unset"; 
else 
 echo "PETALINUX_VER is set to '$PETALINUX_VER'"; 
fi

echo "Cloning '$branchTag'"; 
git clone https://github.com/Avnet/vitis.git
cd vitis
git checkout ${branchTag}
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/Avnet/bdf.git
git clone https://github.com/Avnet/hdl.git
git clone https://github.com/Avnet/petalinux.git
cd hdl
git checkout ${branchTag}
cd ..
cd petalinux
git checkout ${branchTag}
cd .. Copy this into ~/getClones.sh save it, and set it to executable sudo chmod 755 getClones.sh cd to your projects folder ex: cd ~/projects
mkdir getTag
cd getTag Run the script ./getClones.sh --Dan

Hi there, Without knowing exactly which variables you changed, my feeling, related to what you posted, is you removed the ability of the tool to be able to tell what version of tool it is supposed to work with - which then upsets a chain of events and other variables related to that. We are working on some cleaner ways to handle this and trying to make things more clear. This last release was the first time we tried this. Regardless, I am very happy that you got everything working now! --Dan
