Description Charles Macfarlane 2014-10-23 22:39:33 UTC

Following on from the last post in bug 6740 ...

	https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6740

... I have copied the meta qemumips directories listed ...

	recipes-core/init-ifupdown/init-ifupdown-1.0/qemumips
	recipes-bsp/formfactor/files/qemumips
	recipes-bsp/pointercal/pointercal/qemumips
	recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xf86-config/qemumips

... into qemumipsel copies, and completely rebuilt the image, without error, using ...

	bitbake -k core-image-minimal-dev

... but when running the qemu image ...

	runqemu qemumipsel

... the RTC is still not found, and at the login prompt keystrokes still do not register.

Building same for qemumips (big endian) default. Does that work properly with same set of metadata please report back

poky-daisy-11.0.1$ source oe-init-build-env mipseb-uclibc
mipseb-uclibc$ cat conf/local.conf
...
#MACHINE ??= "qemux86"
...
DL_DIR ?= "/home/Embedded/Yocto/Downloads"
...
# Mipseb
MACHINE = "qemumips"
TCLIBC = "uclibc"
mipseb-uclibc$ bitbake -k core-image-minimal-dev
mipseb-uclibc$ runqemu qemumips

Works fine.

Comment 3 Stephen K Jolley 2014-11-17 16:57:29 UTC

Khem, Charles has reported back.  Is the NEEDINFO cleared?

Comment 4 Khem Raj 2014-12-01 18:10:41 UTC

Can you compare uclibc .config for mips and misspel case

> Can you compare uclibc .config for mips and misspel case

Can't find any such file.  AFAIAA, the only configuration differences are:

1)
Builds$ diff mipseb-uclibc/conf/local.conf mipsel-uclibc/conf/local.conf
256,257c256,257
< # Mipseb
< MACHINE = "qemumips"
---
> # Mipsel
> MACHINE = "qemumipsel"

2)
poky-daisy-11.0.1$ diff meta/conf/machine/qemumips.conf meta/conf/machine/qemumipsel.conf

Comment 6 Stephen K Jolley 2014-12-08 19:01:14 UTC

It appears the NEEDINFO is cleared.  Khem put it back into NEEDINFO if you still have a question.

Comment 7 Ross Burton 2016-07-25 21:03:00 UTC

Closing as obsolete as there has been no activity on this bug, qemumipsel isn't a supported machine, and we're about to remove uclibc from oe-core master.

If this can still be replicated with qemumipsel on musl, please file a new bug.
