Craneboard - Problem building Angstrom local.conf Error

Hello dear Sitara Users, 

I have a problem running

$MACHINE=am3517-crane ./oebb.sh bitbake console-image 

on my fresh installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I was following the how to setup from OE (http://wiki.openembedded.org/index.php/OEandYourDistro) and then I did use the setup-script from Angstrom to get my Build Environment for Angstrom right. I just want to build some Package for installing on Angstrom. 

But I cant run the above comment without an error. The Sanity checker always tells me that I should specify a valid machine in my local.conf. So I did add MACHINE="am3517-crane" in the file and did run the command above again. The result was the same error. 

Do I have to set this line in the local.conf to "MACHINE=beagleboard" and in the commandline for calling to "MACHINE=am3517-crane"? 

I need some help build just a additional package. 

Can you give me some example how to build anything for the craneboard? 

Best regards from India, 

your PK

EDIT: If i set both settings to "beagleboard" it compiles fine

EDIT2: I checked my setup-scripts folder. There is the sources directory->meta-ti->conf->machine within are the different config files. But there is no am3517-crane config file. But pandaboard, beagleboard etc. is there. Is this the problem?

  • So, after some Research i tried the TI Wiki recommandations also. Those fails with different Errors while trying to buid anything. 

    Looking at the folder structure there was a am3517-crane folder missing in Ti-meta. So the build with the call above failed because of that. 

    I placed the file from the Ti install of the environment into that folder (the xxx.conf for the craneboard). Now I can start building but i get stuck at do_patch of 

    /meta-ti/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-oma
    p-psp_2.6.32.bb  it says task failed and I have no idea what is wrong. 
    
    
    By the way, there is no support from Mistral. They don't answer any Mails. It is a shame. As mentioned here in the e2e elsewhere I think if you are searching for a easy and well maintained platform with CAN then look somewhere else. E.g. take a quick look into the documentation provided by mistral, it is rediculous.
    
    
    Best regards
