Unable to build stable release 1.10.1: UAVCAN_PLATFORM not set

I tried to build v1.10.1 myself. But failed with error “UAVCAN_PLATFORM not set” while building drivers/uavcan.

  OS: Ubuntu Linux LTS 20.04
  Device: CUAV V5+
  Build target: px4_fmu-v5
  Airframe: Blade130

I want to use CUAV V5+ on a helicopter. I can build master branch code (around May 10, 2020). But that latest code seems having problems working with Blade130 air frame (works fine with Quadrotor x).

I know the online downloaded PX4 Pro v1.10.1 Stable Release build works. That’s why I am trying to build v1.10.1.

Following are commands I used:

  git clone https://github.com/PX4/Firmware.git
  cd Firmware
  git checkout v1.10.1
  bash ./Tools/setup/ubuntu.sh
  <Restart the computer>
  make px4_fmu-v5_default

I also ran

  git submodule update --recursive
  make distclean

after I got that error. But that didn’t help.

Can someone tell me if I did something wrong when building a previous release? Or what I need to do specifically for v1.10.1?

Thanks a lot!

Can this be related to the Scandinavian letter issue (fmu-v3/4/5 not building on Arch Linux #11702, https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/issues/11702)?

I tried to build older stable releases. They all failed. When I build v1.9.2, I got following error:

CMake Error at cmake/px4_add_module.cmake:210 (get_target_property):
  get_target_property() called with non-existent target
  "uavcan_generic_driver".

Target nuttx_xx is not created.

It seems to me the failure I got when building v1.10.1 is also due to the target not being set. Something may prevent Python scripts from configuring correctly. I am not familiar on how the scripts work during build.

I got this error too.
PX4 version :v1.10.2

I dont know why this happened

did you solve it? i am getting the same error.
ubuntu 20.04. code based on v1.9.0. simulation works fine. but cant build for pixhawks.

ubuntu 16.04 builds it fine also.

HELP :pray:t2:

Make sure you do sudo apt-get install python-is-python3 and compile using gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2017-q4-major version of gcc compiler.
Hopefully this will solve the issue.
Best of luck.
