I'm new to Yocto and I've been trying to setup for developing with devtool.
I've followed the instructions from from the Yocto Linux Kernel Development Manual, but I've made a change to Step #2, setting MACHINE = stm32mp1 since I'm targeting the STM32MP157D-DK1. However, Step #5 fails, where it asks you to build the SDK using the command bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk_ext with the following error:
ERROR: buildtools-tarball-1.0-r0 do_populate_sdk: Could not invoke dnf.

Based on similar issues I've found on the internet, I've tried adding the layer meta-python2, and setting IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python-dev" in my local.conf. However, the issue persists.
I'm on Linux Mint 20.2, which is based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Below are the active layers:

I've confirmed that bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk_ext succeeds with MACHINE = qemux86.
Just bitbake core-image-minimal command succeeds with MACHINE = stm32mp1.
I've fixed the build issue. It required adding meta-python2 as I did; but instead of IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " python-dev", TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK_append = " nativesdk-python-core" is needed instead in local.conf.
