Can't generate SDK for Windows with Yocto

I've build a Linux image for freescale imx6qpsabreai board and SDK with toolchain which works well on Linux.

Now I want to support development on Windows and following this post I've

however, I can't build new SDK this way.

~/yocto/fsl-community-bsp/build_fsl_framebuffer$ bitbake fsl-image-machine-test -c populate_sdk

Summary: There were 2 ERROR messages shown, returning a non-zero exit code.

Also, I am not an experienced C/C++ programmer, but from my point of view mingw doesn't contain compiler for arm architecture, so maybe I just can't get arm toolchain to use on Windows?

meta-mingw builds a cross compile from Linux to Windows (mingw). It then uses this cross compiler to construct a standard toolchain from (mingw) to the target SDK environment. You are using the correct layer, but have a different problem.

It appears that you are using a layer (meta-mingw) that is expecting the newer bitbake semantics:

 0027:    if d.getVar("TARGET_OS") != "linux":

*** 0028: return Exception: TypeError: getVar() missing 1 required positional argument: 'expand'

Bitbake used to require two arguments to 'd.getVar', and now only requires one (the second is optional).

I would suggest that you identify which version of oe-core/poky you are using and get a matching version of meta-mingw. (It may be as simple as checking out the correct branch.)
