devtool modify tf-a-stm32mp on kirkstone doesn't work

[Hammy]

On ecosystem 4.1 and git version 2.39.1 there is an error when you do devtool modify tf-a-stm32mp and bitbake tf-a-stm32mp. The error is Command '['git', 'submodule--helper', 'list']' returned non-zero exit status 128. After a bit of searching there is a patch that needs to get applied in order for it to work since that git version no longer supports that command. Patch is located at https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?id=0533edac277080e1bd130c14df0cbac61ba01a0c . Maybe that can get patched in?

Hi @Hammy​ ,

Thanks to spot it !

Can you share OS version you are using ?

See https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/PC_prerequisites#Recommended_PC_configurations

we

AFAIK, none of the recommended Ubuntu version on which 4.1 has been tested use such a recent git version ( 2.25 for LTS 20.04 and 2.34 for LTS 22.04 ) ... that's why we don't yet detect this issue yet.

I have anyway open an internal ticket #BZ143399 in order to anticipate this and provide visibility on when we can claim git 2.39 compatibility.

Hi,

I'm on the following

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
Release:	20.04
Codename:	focal

I think it might have updated it accidentally at some point then?

Thanks for looking at it!

Hi @Hammy​ ,

Ok the best is to revert to version 2.25 then.

We don't see support of git 2.39 to come in near future in our release.

Anyway ST is following Yocto LTS and always claim on which Ubuntu version it has been validated for reference.
