  • Hello Pavankumar,

    This is the procedure to install ppp on ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09.

    Do these steps on your computer.

    $ sudo apt-get install git build-essential python diffstat texinfo gawk chrpath dos2unix wget unzip socat doxygen libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libz1:i386

    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
    # Select "No" when prompted.

    $ wget https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.2-2016.11/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
    $ tar -Jxvf gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz -C $HOME

    $ git clone git://arago-project.org/git/projects/oe-layersetup.git tisdk
    $ cd tisdk
    $ ./oe-layertool-setup.sh -f configs/processor-sdk/processor-sdk-04.02.00.09-config.txt
    $ cd build
    $ . conf/setenv
    $ export PATH=$HOME/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin:$PATH
    $ MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake ppp

    Then transfer to your board and install the ipks from <tisdk>/build/arago-tmp-external-linaro-toolchain/work/armv7ahf-neon-linux-gnueabi/ppp/2.4.7-r0/deploy-ipks/armv7ahf-neon/ with opkg.

    Note: This procedure is taken from here and it is supposed that the users will figure out these steps by themselves.

    Best regards,
    Kemal

    Take this post as an example.

  • Hi

    I was following simple steps for ppp installation on ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09 for Beagle bone black

    I configured ppp in kernel and took the source from the link "www.linuxfromscratch.org/.../ppp.html"
    and when I try to follow their steps ie.,

    groupadd -g 52 pppusers ---- No error

    ./configure --prefix=/usr &&
    make ---- No error

    but when I try to run " make install "

    I am getting error as "install command not found"

    so

    was my flow was correct ?

    what might be the problem and how to resolve it ?

  • You are missing the install command. The install command is a part of coreutils package. This is the procedure to install coreutils package on ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09.

    Do these steps on your computer.

    $ sudo apt-get install git build-essential python diffstat texinfo gawk chrpath dos2unix wget unzip socat doxygen libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libz1:i386

    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
    # Select "No" when prompted.

    $ wget https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.2-2016.11/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
    $ tar -Jxvf gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz -C $HOME

    $ git clone git://arago-project.org/git/projects/oe-layersetup.git tisdk
    $ cd tisdk
    $ ./oe-layertool-setup.sh -f configs/processor-sdk/processor-sdk-04.02.00.09-config.txt
    $ cd build
    $ . conf/setenv
    $ export PATH=$HOME/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin:$PATH
    $ MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake coreutils

    Then transfer to your board and install the ipks from <tisdk>/build/arago-tmp-external-linaro-toolchain/work/armv7ahf-neon-linux-gnueabi/coreutils/8.25-r0/deploy-ipks/armv7ahf-neon/ with opkg.

    Note: This procedure is taken from here and it is supposed that the users will figure out these steps by themselves.

    PS.
    You will need to remove this coreutils package information below from /var/lib/opkg/status to fix the "Ignoring preferred package coreutils 8.25 due to held package coreutils 8.25." issue.

    Package: coreutils
    Version: 8.25-r0.0
    Depends: libattr1 (>= 2.4.47), libc6 (>= 2.23), libcap2 (>= 2.25), libgmp10 (>= 6.1.1), update-alternatives-opkg
    Status: deinstall hold not-installed
    Architecture: armv7ahf-neon

    Best regards,
    Kemal

  • thank you ppp got worked I successfully able to ping google ip address

    but I am not able ping using its website name(google.com) I have changed the nameserver 8.8.8.8 in /etc/resolve.conf but still I am not able ping, it is showing as " ping: bad address 'google.com' " what might be the problem ?
  • Drop the 'e'. It is called /etc/resolv.conf not /etc/resolve.conf
