Hi guys, the real reason is the python version.

It looks like the python scripts must run in python version 2.7.5

You can verify that by running the following line in the directory of the A10 BSP where packager.pyz is stored (somewhere in opencl...)

>python packager.pyz

You will see that it fails with some versions of python.

The solution is to install python 2.7.5.

Read https://askubuntu.com/questions/1050084/install-python-2-7-6-in-ubuntu-16-04

and use the method with version 2.7.5

Hi DCast14,

This worked for us.

In our case we are using CentOS 7 with many versions of Python and `/usr/bin/python` was pointing to `/usr/bin/python3`.

We relinked `/usr/bin/python` to `/usr/bin/python2` and it looks like the issue is fixed.

Thanks for posting the solution!
