Yocto problem building Colibri i.MX8X image

I’m trying to build a new image following the instructions here;

When I get to issuing the bitbake command, I get the following error;

zygo@zygo-OptiPlex-7040:~/work/i.MX8X/Toradex_iMX8QXP/bin/imx-yocto-bsp/build$ bitbake -k fsl-image-validation-imx

I’m not concerned so much with the Ubuntu warning, but instead with the MACHINE error. Here is the local.conf file;

MACHINE ??= 'colibri-imx8qxp'
DISTRO ?= 'fsl-imx-xwayland'
PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm"

PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-nativesdk-qemu = " sdl"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Instructions is correct !
It works for me!

In my opinion: Missing environment variables

Please try this:

MACHINE=colibri-imx8qxp DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build ;bitbake -k fsl-image-validation-imx

Hi

You might have the wrong version of (some) layer.
What is the output of:

Had a similar issue: did the setup and build for Apalis iMX8 without issues (using Apalis iMX8 manifest-branch and manifest-file) and when I used the same setup for building the image for Colibri iMX8X I got this error. Only then I have noticed that for Colibri iMX8X those are different values and the build setup is not shared.
