Distribution SDK installed but will NOT BUILD

[JU]

I'm trying to get the OpenSTLinux build environment up & running for the 1st time, following the instructions on the wiki step-by-step.

So far I have:

Built a Ubuntu 18 Virtual machine in Virtualbox - (18.04.5LTS, 4 cores, 8GbRAM, 500Gb HDD)

Followed all the Starter package / Distribution package install & setup steps

Programmed the DK2 and EVB with the Starter Packages (tip: you need Virtualbox Extensions enabling USB2.0 & add STMicroelectronics* as a USB filter)

But now I am trying to actually build the whole project using BitBake and it keeps failing.

I have not modified the OpenSTLinux at all, I have set it all up using the directory structure suggested in the Wiki, initialised the environment per the instructions, and invoked:

bitbake -v st-image-weston 2>&1 | tee build.log

And the process appears to have failed, which is rather dissappointing, although I can't tell if the error is a "real" error or just something that doesn't really matter.

Here's errors from the log:

ERROR: Task (/home/john/STM32/Distribution-Package/openstlinux-5.4-dunfell-mp1-20-06-24/layers/meta-st/meta-st-stm32mp/recipes-bsp/trusted-firmware-a/tf-a-stm32mp_2.2.bb:do_patch) failed with exit code '1'

EDIT to add:

I have tried building st-image-core but it still fails, with errors:

...well to answer my own question it looks like the VM is running out of memory:

> dmesg | grep memory
[16630.256542]  out_of_memory+0x109/0x510
[16630.256615] Tasks state (memory values in pages):

Guess I need to upgrade!
