Failed build Yocto Gatesgarth "extensible SDK" (eSDK) - populate_sdk_ext fail - linux

Question

I'm working with Yocto "Gatesgarth" on a custom board based on i.MX6ULL.
I'm facing some problems in generating the extensible SDK (eSDK).
The generation of normal SDK it's accomplished correctly.
Below some details.
Details of system:
Board based on NXP i.MX6ULL
Yocto version "Gatesgarth 3.2.4 (May 2021)"
BB_VERSION = "1.48.0",
NATIVELSBSTRING = "ubuntu-18.04"
DISTRO_VERSION = "5.10-gatesgarth"
meta-qt5 is present
Build environment based on Docker Container
Environment Variable:
File: conf/local.conf
SDKMACHINE ?= 'x86_64'
File: test-image-mx6ull.bb
inherit core-image
inherit populate_sdk_qt5
inherit populate_sdk_ext
SDK_EXT_TYPE = "minimal"
SDK_INCLUDE_TOOLCHAIN = "1"
SDK_INCLUDE_PKGDATA = "0"
SDK_INCLUDE_NATIVESDK = "1"
The command executed is :
bitbake test-image-mx6ull -c populate_sdk_ext
Output:
ERROR: test-image-mx6ull-1.0-r0 do_populate_sdk_ext: Error executing a python function in exec_python_func() autogenerated:

Exception: IndexError: list index out of range
DEBUG: Python function do_populate_sdk_ext finished
MY-DEBUG - btfiles = [] - SDK_DEPLOY = /yocto/build-mX6ull/tmp/deploy/sdk
Question:
In line 553 the array btfiles should be filled,
but the array is empty and the line 556 generate the exception.
I have no idea of whats is wrong, what I have forget and what Yocto environment variables are needed to setup to do a correctly work.

Answer 1

hope you are doing good
i had similar issue where i couldnt populate esdk,
its all in GLIBC version..
kindly update your GLIBC version
In my case i had to update GLIBC version to 2.33 in "yocto-uninative.inc" file. It worked for me!!!
