Looking at your logs

 * opkg_download: Failed to download http://adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org//1.4.2-d734ab491a30078d43dee5440c03acce2d251425-dylan/adt-ipk/x86_64-nativesdk/Packages, wget returned 8.
opkg update process ended…

and return 8 for wget suggests "Server issued an error response."

Does it happens everytime you retry ?

e.g. I did below and it all downloaded ok.

wget http://adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org/1.4+snapshot-6b4f7e4b26c51f0c1517c0a697031e7bc488b76f-master/adt-ipk/x86_64-nativesdk/Packages

I'm running a Fedora 17 VM as the development host, and would like to target Beaglebone and vanilla x86 devices using Eclipse. However, I ran into some issues:

The ADT guide warns against mixing installation methods, building ADT from poky vs. the ADT installer, etc. So, what is the recommended method for having this prerequisite library for Yocto?

I edited adt_installer.conf to point to what I thought was the appropriate master as /1.4+snapshot-$hash-master, but the install script failed with a message about wget trying to get the opkg portion of the repo. There appears to be no opkg folder at all to be found there...so is the ADT installer now deprecated and one should just install poky and build the ADT stuff from there on?
