Hello @meera,
I tried the first 2 lessons step by step just a week ago and it worked for me. Please, have a look at this document:
I ran into a similar issue as you describe at the beginning of lesson 2. Right away, I tried the very same fix that worked in the first lesson, however it did not work for lesson 2 for the first time.
I rebooted the virtual machine and I tried to fix the Python version issue with the very same command lines from the earlier again:export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1
cd ~
mkdir ~/bin
git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo
cd git-repo
git checkout 27da4ddeb9159573e0207f71e4d9b3ae286b5275
cp repo ../bin
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
PATH=${PATH}:~/bin Re-entering the repo command lines:
It worked! Please try to reboot your virtual machine, follow the instructions again and let me know if it works for you as well.
Thank you

If you have look at
L2: 00:03:24 section in the previously attached document, you will find the notes about this topic and also about some other issues you may run into:
When trying to download the files with command:
repo sync
I got the very same error as you do:
Fetching projects: 87% (7/8) pokyfatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 140.82.121.4]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:

Fetching projects: 100% (8/8), done.
error: Cannot checkout meta-openrex: ManifestInvalidRevisionError: revision jethro in meta-openrex not found
error: in `sync`: revision jethro in meta-openrex not found
The problem was the
git port is restricted (
https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6285).
Fixed this with following command:
The second attempt of downloading (rest of the) files with:
repo sync
It worked out:
fedevel@fedevel-VirtualBox:~/fsl-community-bsp$ repo sync
... A new repo command ( 1.27) is available.
... You should upgrade soon:

today I have been trying the above fix for repo-sync. I directly followed the steps given in "L1-L2 process double checked" page. It still doesnt work, the same "pokyfatal" error I got. Th solution, I found by in net and it is the following. In the openrex-> how to start with software page, in
cat > .repo/local_manifests/imx6openrex.xml << EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote fetch="git://github.com/FEDEVEL" name="fedevel"/>
<project remote="fedevel" revision="jethro" name="meta-openrex" path="sources/meta-openrex">
<copyfile src="openrex-setup.sh" dest="openrex-setup.sh"/>
</project>
</manifest>
EOF
instead of using <remote fetch="git://github.com/FEDEVEL" name="fedevel"/>, use <remote fetch="https://github.com/FEDEVEL" name="fedevel"/>,
after that it worked. PFA snapsots (the solvedpoky snapshot).

This is a query in Lesson 2, at around 4.48 minutes. When you say " your board needs to be similar to the reference board", what it means? I have a situation, where I have two reference boards (board1 & board2), both having cortex-a9 core based processor from 2 different manufacturers. the third board is the board on which I need to port uboot, it has processor from the second board and other hardware from the first board. how should i proceed with developing uboot for the third board. Thanks
