It looks to me like your bitbake/Yocto environment hasn't been set up completely. These steps can get you started: % . /oe-init-build-env my_yocto_build This will create a build tree called `pwd`/my_yocto_build. You can put the name of any directory here. After the above step, your shell will change to that directory. Now, edit 'conf/local.conf' to match your needs. Then you can build your image: % bitbake core-image-minimal Please try exactly these steps and see if it helps. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
