E: Unable to locate package gawk
E: Package 'git-core' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'texinfo' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'gcc-multilib' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package build-essential

solve:

Because of the newly installed ubuntu system, there is no update reason.

Enter the command: sudo apt-get update

Reinstall

2. The repo cannot be downloaded

Use someone else's downloaded one, and copy it directly.
Repo download: link .

3. Cannot download the source code

hedy@ubuntu:~/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp$ repo init -u git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-4.1-krogoth
gpg: keyring `/home/hedy/.repoconfig/gnupg/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/home/hedy/.repoconfig/gnupg/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: /home/hedy/.repoconfig/gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 920F5C65: public key "Repo Maintainer <[email protected]>" imported

gpg: Total number processed: 2
gpg:               imported: 2  (RSA: 1)

fatal: Cannot get https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle
fatal: error [Errno 101] Network is unreachable

Solution:
This problem occurs because the Google server cannot be accessed normally in Tianchao.

Modify the repo file to:

#REPO_URL = 'https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo'

REPO_URL = 'https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/aosp/git-repo'

4. Download source code is unsuccessful

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'hedy@ubuntu.(none)')

solve:

Run

  git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

5. Repo init error resolution

 First install the i.MX NXP BSP repo
$: repo init -u git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-4.1-krogoth

Download the Yocto Project NXP Layers:
$: repo sync

If errors on repo init, remove the .repo directory and try repo init again.

Note that this downloads the latest release for 4.1.15-2.1.0 plus patches after.

To download only the 4.1.15-2.1.0 release use this for repo init command
$: repo init -u git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-4.1-krogoth -m imx-4.1.15-2.1.0.xml

Solution:
Yocto will compile while downloading. If the network environment is not good, various errors will occur.

Can download all the required packages and does not compile
sometimes we may need to first download all the required packages down, such as home or other off-line time to compile, which we can use the following command to complete:

bitbake fsl-image-qt5 -c fetchall

Compile again:

bitbake fsl-image-qt5
