Hi,

I am new to LEDE project. I have downloaded it from github and followed the instructions.
When I run make V=s -j1 and configure the target to Raspberry PI3
I got the following error:

make V=s -j1

I got also error if I download the static SDK for wrtnode, there I got:

Is it releated to Ubuntu 16 or something else?

Pure guess, but are you sure that you have installed the needed prerequisites?
(and that you are using 64bit Ubuntu?)

Regarding the static wrtnode SDK, you should maybe ask help at the wrtnode site. It is their own derivative of Openwrt and not part of the builds here. The versions mentioned in those logs look quite old

I think it is 64bit

I have done the following instructions
git clone xxx
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make menuconfig
select target/sub Raspbery pi3
make V=s -j1
