bitbake task not returning

bitbake task not returning

Hello!

A recipe I am working with hangs on the do_unpack task. Looking at the
logs, the sub-task appears to complete successfully, but the calling task
doesn't, and the overall bitbake build process doesn't either.

This is the complete log for the do_unpack task:

DEBUG: Executing python function do_unpack
DEBUG: Executing python function base_do_unpack
NOTE: Unpacking

Setup has finished installing C6000 Code Generation Tools on your computer.

The cooker log includes this line:

NOTE: recipe nativesdk-ti-cgt6x-1_8.2.2-r0: task do_unpack: Started

but there is no corresponding 'Succeeded' line in the log. I'm guessing it
has something to do with the ti_bin_do_unpack task not returning to the
calling do_unpack task.

Is this a known problem? Is there a known solution to it? On a related
point, if I would like to call the python tasks directly in order to
troubleshoot the problem, is there a standard/easy way to do that?

All input warmly received, thanks!
Tim

This looks like an interactive script that reads its parameters from the terminal. As such it will not work well inside an automated build environment.
Check its docs if you can supply the information on the command line, so that it can run non-interactively. If that isn't possible, read into the script and rewrite it so it does not need any input.
