[meta-freescale] Help using toaster

[Thomas Thorne]

I continued trying to get Toaster to work last week. 

I found that by cloning a fresh poky work area directly from the yocto project main repository I was able to include the meta-fsl-arm layer from their servers (which I think is a direct mirror of the GitHub one) and build an image.  I targeted the ls1021atwr machine in my toaster build.  

I am sure that with some manipulation of the toasterconf.json file, it would be possible to use the freescale work area layout as generated by repo.  If I make progress in that area I will update this thread or possibly generate a patch for the toasterconf.json file.

After reading more of the toaster-manual I found the section on "4.1.1.2. Configuring Toaster to Hook Into Your Layer Index"

In there it is mentioned that after editing your toasterconf.json file there are two commands you should run from your toaster environment to pick up changes from your modified file.  To load the changes you run something like: 
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py loadconf /home/scottrif/poky/meta-poky/conf/toasterconf.json
If that was successful you then run:
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py lsupdates to update your Toaster databse.  

When I run the loadconf command I get a lot of errors out of it, even with the default toasterconf.json:

~/work/fsl-community-bsp/ls1021atwr$ ../sources/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py loadconf -v 2 /home/thomasthorne/work/fsl-community-bsp/sources/poky/meta-poky/conf/toasterconf.json

So either there is a problem with the script doing the checking or with the default config file.  
$ ../sources/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py loadconf --version
1.8.15
Who know what is really wants to see in that file.  I will try either working out how to write a new toasterconf.json file that does not generate a bunch of complains or see if getting the /admin/ web interface working suggests something helpful.  I can see the login page for that but I have no idea what credentials to enter yet.
