Hi @mirzak, do you know why I’m getting this parse error? Would really appreciate the help.

ERROR: ParseError at /home/mcardona/Desktop/Embebidos/poky-warrior/sources/meta-nova/recipes-devtools/python/python3-imutils\_0.5.3.bb:1: unparsed line: ‘cat \<\<- ‘EOF’ \> …/sources/meta-nova/recipes-devtools/python/python3-imutils\_0.5.3.bb’

Not sure where this layer/recipe is coming from but I would check the content of `/home/mcardona/Desktop/Embebidos/poky-warrior/sources/meta-nova/recipes-devtools/python/python3-imutils_0.5.3.bb`
