Hello @onkar,

Please, have you solved the outdated Python version issue?


Last time I tried to follow the first 2 lessons step by step I managed to make it work. Please, have a look at this document, it might be useful for you:

During my testing, I ran into a similar issue as you describe in lesson 1 with the repo init command. After entering following command in the terminal:
Following error shows up:
fedevel@fedevel-VirtualBox:~/fsl-community-bsp$ repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b jethro
repo: error: Python 2 is no longer supported; Please upgrade to Python 3.5+.

Under the course online video, there is a Questions & Updates tab, where you can find instructions on how to fix this issue. Entering following commands into the terminal:
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

I tried the repo command again. I entered following commands:
cd fsl-community-bsp
git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"
git config --global user.name "yourname"
repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b jethro

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​​
