Hi, I downloaded Legato Linux Distribution Legato-Dist-Source-mdm9x28-SWI9X07Y\_02.09.02.00.tar.bz2 . I extracted this distro. I also have toolchain installed in my machine. I am build for WP76 module. I am trying to build only serial module with following command in Kernel directory: make ARCH=arm CROSS\_COMPILE=/opt/swi/y22-ext/sysroots/i686-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi- M=drivers/usb/serial/ But I am stuck at following error: ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid. include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing. Run ‘make oldconfig && make prepare’ on kernel src to fix it. WARNING: Symbol version dump ./Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions. LD drivers/usb/serial/built-in.o Building modules, stage 2. ./scripts/Makefile.modpost:42: include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory make[1]: \*\*\* No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf’.

Hi, I am able to build to build the image with “make image” command in yocto folder. But now build is failing at the last step while creating the image.

I’ve been fighting with the same problem. I’m still trying to track down why the mkyaffs2image command isn’t found. I did discover if I run make image\_bin a second time the build finishes. Seems like the build scripts don’t know where to find mkyaffs2image until the second run. ---

Updating to the newest toolchain and yocto source fixed the issue for me. I think the older toolchain script wasn’t building something correctly.
