Building issue yocto for arm 32 bit machine while installing Snapd

please help me, I’ve been trying for the last week but no results

Can you check that snapd was indeed rebuilt? Can you bitbake -v snapd and inspect the log for any errors?

Hi, I’m having the same issue, I used the command

$ bitbake -v snapd

but I couldn’t notice any error. Below the full log. As an addictional info, I successfully compiled the same project for the target MACHINE qemux86.

kurako@kurako-udsk:~/fsl-community-bsp/build$ bitbake -v snapd

Unfortunately in the attached log does not contain any relevant output, snapd must have been built before that.

I’d start by checking the bitbake -e snapd and inspecting build/configure log files in $WORKDIR.
Also bitbake -c cleansstate snapd will drop the current build artifacts and bitbake -v snapd will do the actual build starting from scratch.

The first log provided by @edo.red suggests that snapd was not rebuilt for the target. IIRC there’s nothing stopping that from working, so it might be something between the Go support in OE-core and BSP layers you use or some missing dependency.

Also note, that snaps are squashfs, so squashfs kernel modules is needed. You may need to update RDEPENDS for your target.

there is building RDEPENDS missing, here is the error i get after running your commands and trying to rebuild:

Error: Problem 1: conflicting requests

  • nothing provides kernel-module-squashfs needed by snapd-2.32.2-r0.armv7at2hf_neon Problem 2: package packagegroup-snapd-1.0-r0.noarch requires snapd, but none of the providers can be installed
  • conflicting requests
  • nothing provides kernel-module-squashfs needed by snapd-2.32.2-r0.armv7at2hf_neon

how can i update the RDEPENDS so it can find the module that is looking for?

You need to enable squashfs in your kernel configuration.

I took a look at meta-fsl-arm (which has been abandoned ~2 years ago and is part of meta-freescale now), the linux-imx kernel defconfig does not enable the squashfs module. You will need to update the kernel configuration yourself. I do not recall linux-imx packages using configuration fragments like linux-yocto does, so you will have to add a linux-imx_%.bbappend file and update the configration there.

The meta-snappy layer contains a defconfig for linux-yocto right here https://github.com/morphis/meta-snappy/blob/master/recipes-kernel/linux/files/snappy.cfg you can use it as reference to figure out what needs to be enabled in your kernel. Not everything listed there is needed. I’d say the most important settings are: CONFIG_SQUASHFS (with CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XZ), CONFIG_*_NS, CONFIG_CGROUPS and CONFIG_SECCOMP. There is some additional information about kernel requirements and configuration of sample kernels right here https://github.com/snapcore/sample-kernels/tree/master.

Thank you for your help, adding CONFIG_SQUASHFS and all the other relevant configuration made our build succeed

thanks again

thank you so much for your support, it actually worked
