Why is flash failing from OSX Yosemite

[Robin Edwards]

I'm trying without success to follow the process to setup an Edison Buendia server.  I've already setup my Yosemite Macbook as a flash station.  My flash line is:

`devices/server/setup rootpassword wifinetwork:wifipassword mynetwork`

The process takes about 5 minutes instead of the 45 described.  When I serial into the the resulting Yocto build I can find no signs of Buendia - e.g. folder `/usr/share/buendia`.

I'm building a Linux flasher to test that alternative setup method, but thought I'd post this up in case anyone has encountered this.

Hi Robin,

could you please provide us with a little bit more information about the errors you are getting?

Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo

The problem has changed.  The latest attempt did mostly install buendia.  But the progress is now in a reboot setup loop that ends with either:

    [   40.329690] sh[189]: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)

    [   40.342505] sh[189]: E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

    [   40.349274] sh[189]: install-buendia-base did not finish: rebooting in 5 minutes.

or 

    [  751.921261] sh[188]: E: Unable to locate package buendia-site-msf-chad

    [  751.927110] sh[188]: install-buendia-base did not finish: rebooting in 5 minutes.

Now my install line was `devices/server/setup rootpwd mywifi:wifipwd msf-chad`

The last bit `msf-chad` looks like the culprit.  What is this supposed to do?  Wiki documentation just describes it as `{site ID}` but doesn't explain what this does.  Should I restart the process without that?

Nope - just tried that and got:

[  706.840376] sh[187]: /bin/bash: line 36: /usr/share/buendia/site/id: No such file or directory

[  706.847514] sh[187]: Buendia site ID not selected.

[  706.853911] sh[187]: install-buendia-base did not finish: rebooting in 5 minutes.
