'ERROR: YoctoProject - core-image-sato: do_populate_sdk

I'm a beginner in Yoctoproject. I'm trying to buil the image for Beaglebone Black Board with command-line: bitbake core-image-sato -c populate_sdk. And I had an error (the detail in the below) in last task.

Enviroment build: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, using Bash Shell instead of Dash Shell. I tried to build again many times but same this error. Can you help me fix this error?

Solution 1:^[1]

Exit code 137 means something killed xz during the build. You may be running out of memory: check dmesg after this happens, there might be a log line about out-of-memory killer.

Solution 2:^[2]

Had the same problem and could make it go away with XZ_MEMLIMIT="75%" bitbake image-name -c do_populate_sdk. The bitbake.conf in my version of Yocto defaults XZ_MEMLIMIT to 50%.

Solution 3:^[3]

Had the same problem and none of the usual methods, like, deleting hidden repo file worked.

I then clean the build using bitbake -c clean mybuildname and then again made the build and it worked flawlessly, I hope it helps someone.
