AM335x Linux SDK installation problem

Hi,

Are you sure that you have installed Ubuntu 10.04?....you have mentioned 10.10.

Regards

Hi, 

I saw that TI recommend to work with Ubuntu 10.04; but I thought Ubuntu 10.10 is also ok. Do you think this is the reason?

Thanks

Hi,

1. check the file permissions, something like : r-xr-xr-x

2.  For Ubuntu X.Y.  -> customize setup-scripts {ti-sdk-....}/bin after install.

Regards

[1] -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1448217450 2012-06-11 07:46 ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.04.01.00-Linux-x86-Install

[2] I've not reached "after install" yet.

Thanks,

Yan

ok,

try : sudo ./ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.04.01.00-Linux-x86-Install

Hi Yan,

Try these steps...

yantsitrin@ubuntu: mkdir project            - - -create directry as project

yantsitrin@ubuntu: cd project                 -- go to the project

yantsitrin@ubuntu: /project$ mkdir AM335X    - create dir as AM335X

yantsitrin@ubuntu: cd /mnt/hgfs/doxxxxx - go to your downlaoded linux installer and cp to the AM335x folder - cp /mnt/hgfs/downxxxx /home/user(yantsitrin)/project/AM335X

then go that directry - /project/AM335X and do this

yantsitrin@ubuntu: chmod +x ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.04.01.00-Linux-x86-Install

yantsitrin@ubuntu sudo ./ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.04.01.00-Linux-x86-Install

and change the path to home/yantsitrin/project/AM335X/ti-am335x.xxxx.x.x.x..x.x.

and accept and click next to instal the SDK.

Thank you, Andreas,

I tried sudo and also tried to perform this as root. The both didn't work :-(

Thanks

Vageesh, 

Thank yuo very much for your detailed and exhaustive reply;

however

[1] the Install file permissions are ok:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1448217450 2012-06-11 07:46 ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.04.01.00-Linux-x86-Install

[2] sudo and even root permissions do not help.

Thanks,

Yan

Hi, Anil, 

Thank you very much for your idea!

Actually, I suspected that the problem is with the install file integrity. Do you know how can I get md5 hash values for 

(ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.04.01.00-Linux-x86-Install) ?

Thanks,

Yan

Hi,

Please find the details from below link.

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/am_bu/sdk/AM335xSDK/latest/index_FDS.html

Check whether you have downloaded the complete file of size 1.34GB.

Hi, Vageesh, 

I downloaded the install file from this location:

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/am_bu/sdk/AM335xSDK/latest/index_FDS.html

its properties are

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1448217450 2012-06-11 07:46 ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.04.01.00-Linux-x86-Install

Thanks,

Hi, Anil,

The md5-s are the same:

52437516a5612c06817cc2e8bb86b16f  ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.04.01.00-Linux-x86-Install

I'm installing Ubuntu 10.04 now; I want to use it instead of my Ubuntu 10.10. May be 10.10 is problematic.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Yan

Regarding the Ubuntu Version, there is some FAQ here..

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/EZSDK_5.0_Single_Installer_FAQ#Ubuntu_has_released_11.10.2C_but_this_installer_checks_specifically_for_10.04_which_is_older._Why_can.27t_the_installer_work_out_of_the_box_on_11.10.3F

Hi, Anil, 

On Ubuntu 10.04 it has been installed properly,

Thanks,

Yan

Hi, Paddul, 

On Ubuntu 10.04 it has been installed properly,

Thanks,

I think someone mentioned this problem before. You need to install ia32-lib in your 64-bit Ubuntu.

DL

Thank you, Coder, 

I'll try this later on my 64-bits machine 

Yan

This works perfectly at the beginning: the installation process starts and reaches the stage of "setup.sh"  script execution. But then it says:

<<Verifying Linux host distribution
Unsupported host machine, only Ubuntu 10.04 LTS supported
Failed setup, aborting..>>

So the only way to continue with AM335x Linux SDK installation  is on the  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. 

On the other hand, the script setup.sh does not run on  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS the following command fails on Ubuntu 10.04 (but works properly on Ubuntu 10.10)

<<sudo apt-get install xinetd tftpd nfs-kernel-server minicom build-essential libncurses5-dev uboot-mkimage autoconf automake>>

Thanks,

Yan

Hi Yan,

First of all please check with the SDK installer i.e. version, size etc.
Save the SDK inside your directory as guided on TI link.
Change the change permission to executable: chmod +x sitara SDK installer
Run the SDK as with root permission: ./sitara SDK installer

Check with your Ubuntu version. If your host system has Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, it should goes smoothly. However in case of other versions, you need to change the variable inside setup_script. I even succeeded installing SDK on different linux OS es also without any error. Errors come while setting up the environment.

But you can make changes into script file and can proceed along. The packages you mentioned in above message will be installed at the time of running setup_script. Make sure you already arranged and set up the entire system.

I had the same problem.  I downloaded the SDK and when I clicked on it and tried to run from the terminal nothing happened.  It turns out that the install exe will not run on anything but Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32-bit.

I was running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit.  I installed VirtualBox with 10.04LTS and then it worked.
