Parse acs.bin failed for u-boot-Odroid_N2

General
1

I tried to build Coreelec 21 but the build process stops at building u-boot for Odroid_N2 . The culprit is the Makefile at u-boot-Odroid_N2-43d26e1865333916d7889a586948e11b83b2c558 : it tries to parse the built acs.bin and the file “parse” does not exist.

I never heard it is necessary to parse the built acs.bin and no one mentions it at this forum or internet. Can somebody have a look at this issue please ?

My build steps :

  1. git clone Coreelec
  2. git checkout coreelec-21
  3. PROJECT=Amlogic-ce DEVICE=Amlogic-ng ARCH=arm64 make
2

Just run DEVICE=Amlogic-ng make and try again. Best a make clean before.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately , after make clean and run the cmd. you suggested , the problem is still the same :

I personally think the Makefile ( Makefile - Pastebin.com may be the problem : please refer to line 871.

If you need more info. , please do not hesitate to let me know .

For ce-21 best use Ubuntu 20.04.
For CE-22 better Ubuntu 22.04.

I’m buidling both CE-21 and CE-22 on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS.
Must be something on your distro.

Or to start from fresh

rm -fr build.CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-21
DEVICE=Amlogic-ng make
