HI, Would like to know if anybody has succcesfully built balena OS using apple M1 host chip or is it not supported yet?. I am using VM with Ubuntu running on MacOS Monterey 12.2.1. But keep getting this error (Please note, this was also built on ubuntu 20.04, 21,10 with almost same error): ```auto | DEBUG: Python function extend_recipe_sysroot finished | DEBUG: Executing shell function do_install | NOTE: make -j 4 DESTDIR=/home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image install-static | cd jim && CFLAGS=" -Os -pipe -g -feliminate-unused-debug-types -fmacro-prefix-map=/home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0=/usr/src/debug/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0=/usr/src/debug/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/recipe-sysroot= -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/recipe-sysroot-native= -Wall" CC="aarch64-poky-linux-gcc -mcpu=cortex-a53 -march=armv8-a+crc -fstack-protector-strong -Os -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time --sysroot=/home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/recipe-sysroot" ./configure --disable-lineedit --with-out-jim-ext="stdlib posix load signal syslog" --prefix=/usr | install -D --mode=755 usb_modeswitch /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch | install -D --mode=755 usb_modeswitch.sh /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image/lib/udev/usb_modeswitch | install -D --mode=644 usb_modeswitch.conf /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf | install -D --mode=644 usb_modeswitch.1 /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image/usr/share/man/man1/usb_modeswitch.1 | install -D --mode=644 usb_modeswitch_dispatcher.1 /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image/usr/share/man/man1/usb_modeswitch_dispatcher.1 | install -D --mode=755 usb_modeswitch_dispatcher /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch_dispatcher | install -d /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image/var/lib/usb_modeswitch | test -d /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image/etc/init -a -e /sbin/initctl && install --mode=644 usb-modeswitch-upstart.conf /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image/etc/init || test 1 | test -d /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image/etc/systemd/system -a \( -e /usr/bin/systemctl -o -e /bin/systemctl \) && install --mode=644 usb_modeswitch@.service /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/image/etc/systemd/system || test 1 | autosetup/system.tcl:204: Error: /home/azmi/workdir/project1/balena-raspberrypi/build/tmp/work/cortexa53-poky-linux/usb-modeswitch/2.5.2-r0/usb-modeswitch-2.5.2/jim/autosetup/config.guess: unable to guess system type | | This script, last modified 2010-09-24, has failed to recognize | the operating system you are using.

Hi, are you able to build Poky Honister following the instructions in [Yocto Project Quick Build — The Yocto Project ® 3.4.4 documentation](https://docs.yoctoproject.org/3.4.4/brief-yoctoprojectqs/index.html) with that setup? ---

Hi, I have no problem building plain Honister. Anyway I did build succesfully, but forgot to update it here. In order to make the build successful for my environment, i have done the flowing: 1. usb\_modeswitch - use new version usb-modeswitch\_2.6.0.bb with “install” switch, which will depend on “tclsh” instead of “Jim”. I have the 2 errors with existing version: \*\* GLIBC version \* \*\* jim/autosetup/config.guess: unable to guess system type … it is old and does not support ARM host yet.\* 2. golang compilation: from what i see, balena is using bootstrap toolchain from C souce code. The toolchain is old and does not support arm, therefore I am using bootstrap toolchain from Binary release using go-binary-native\_1.16.2.bb recipe as default. 3. meta-balena-common/recipes-kernel/linux/files/Dockerfile - it was for intel host, for arm i did this changes: ```auto @@ -1,4 +1,5 @@ -FROM balenalib/intel-nuc-debian:buster-20210705 +#FROM balenalib/intel-nuc-debian:buster-20210705 +FROM balenalib/aarch64-debian-node:17.7.2-buster-build-20220321 ``` Best regards, Azmi.
