SDK 7.0 update /tftpboot ?

Dear Forum,

I am trying to establish a "well known" state of the SDK 7.0 before doing any changes.

  • I have run the setup.sh with all (except /dev/ttyUSB0) default choises.
  • The /tftpboot and ../targetNFS dirctories are initialized as default.
  • I let the setup modify the BBB target uEnv.txt (later modified to fixed ip, no dhcp due to gateway)
  • The Rules.make file content seem correct with am335x-evm and armv7-a settings.
  • I run the "make u-boot-spl" without errors.
  • I run "make clean", "make all", "make install" without any errors.
  • I notice that the timestamp in the /tftpboot directory have not changed.

Questions:

  1. Why are the files in the "tftp root" directory not updated when running make?
  2. Why are not the u-boot files placed/copied into the /tftpboot when running "make u-boot-spl"?
  3. How/where is initrd.img for the RAM image generated (have copied an old one)?

Please advice

Best regards
Terje Froysa

    You have to manually copy u-boot and MLO into /tftpboot directory.  I don't have an SDK installed on this computer, but I'm pretty sure even the set up scripts just use the prebuilt images as opposed to the most currently built ones in the source directories.

    Ok Jelliott, thanks.

    Since only the idea of conveniant compile-and-reboot is launched as the advantages of this NFS installation, I became a bit puzzled.

    The indroduction tools (Like the Boot Camp or the Sitarar Linux U-Boot) are either in outdated or immature condition.

    I need to be sure I have a 100% correct installation.

    Best regards
