Building tisdk-root-filesystem for AM335x-EVM using Arago

Qmax
Expert 2280 points

Hi

I'm trying to rebuild the root filesystem provided within Sitara SDK using Arago. The main reason is that I need more recent gstreamer plugins. I found some info here:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AMSDK_File_System_Optimization/Customization
http://arago-project.org/wiki/index.php/Building_with_Arago
http://arago-project.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_Up_Build_Environment

but now I have some doubts... Do I have to use arago.git as described or meta-arago.git repository instead?

I would like to use the toolchain provided within the SDK, instead of installing a different one (CodeSourcery): how can I do it?

I've tried to build the 'arago-base-image' but cannot find any arago-deploy directory? Where are the outputs (rootfs, etc) of the build?

Which are the targets to rebuild exactly the base-rootfs-am335x-evm and the tisdk-rootfs-am335x-evm?

I've looked for arago-devel mailing list archives, but the link in this page https://gforge.ti.com/mailman/listinfo/arago-devel is wrong: where can I find them?

Thanks in advance. Regards,

Max

    Max,

    You should start with the scripts at http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=oe-layersetup.git;a=summary.

    run ./oe-layertool-setup.sh -f configs/amsdk/amsdk-05.06.00.00-config.txt

    This will configure your build environment.  Then download the toolchain from http://software-dl.ti.com/sdoemb/sdoemb_public_sw/arago_toolchain/2011_09/index_FDS.html and add it to your PATH.


    From there you can go into the "build" directory and issue commands like

    MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake tisdk-rootfs-image

    Chase,

    Actually I'm using SDK 05.05: what can I do to build that version of root filesystem?

    By the way I've seen there are a lot of differences between 05.05 rootfs and 05.06: this one includes recent gstreamer plugins I need. Moreover I've noticed that in opkg *.control files, the Architeture is now "armv7a-vfp-neon" while previously was "armv7a": does it mean than new libraries are built with NEON optimizations? Can I expect improved performances?

    Cannot use the toolchain I have already in the SDK?

    Thanks for your support.

    Max,

    05.05 means setting up original arago like you mentioned and is not as easy to do.  I would recommend moving to 05.06 since that uses OE-Core which is the future of OE.  Both versions use the same toolchain I pointed you to just packaged into the SDK.  That toolchain has neon optimizations.

    Following you instructions, the build procedure stops with the following error. Any hint?

    Max,

    It seems the tarball for the 4.8.0 release was removed.  You can either search for it from another location (I've seen some ftp sites with it), or download our copy of the downloads directory from http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/am_bu/sdk-downloads/TISDK-Downloads/ALL/index.html.  This is a tarball of all the downloads we used during our build.

    Thanks, I've patched file sources/oe-core/meta/recipes-qt/qt4/qt4-native.inc in this way:

    16c16
    < SRC_URI = "http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-${PV}.tar.gz \
    ---
    > SRC_URI = "ftp://ftp.qt-project.org/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-${PV}.tar.gz \

    Now is building since several hours, hope tomorrow morning will be ended... :)

    Best regards, Max

    Chase,

    Finally I've built everything with success: it requires a lot of disk space and time... :) Thanks for your support.

    I've open a new thread about some GStreamer issues with SDK 5.6.0.0 and 5.5.0.0, here: http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/linux/f/354/t/240715.aspx If you have any hints I would really appreciate, thanks.

    Best regards,
