Hello all,
The Linux EZSDK is a misnomer: there doesn't seem to be anything easy about it.
Just downloading it was a chore. After a few days of corrupt downloads (an MD5 would be nice), I had to fight the "segmentation error" problem. The solution was to run in "text" mode, but finding that particular undocumented option took a few days. Every step doesn't work for some reason, and then I spend a day or two trying to find a work-around.
It's been a week, I am am only now getting to the very basic step of creating an SD card. You would think that at least that part would be EZ, but no, I'm getting this error:
Availible Drives to write images to: # major minor size name 1: 8 0 976762584 sda 2: 8 16 30702592 sdb Enter Device Number or n to exit: 2 Invalid selection! These are the only Drives available to write images to: # major minor size name 1: 8 0 976762584 sda 2: 8 16 30702592 sdb Enter Device Number or n to exit:
I've looked at the code in the script-file, but I can't make out how it is coming to the conclusion that "2" is an "Invalid selection!", when it clearly considering it valid when it generates the list.
Does anyone have a clue on how to work around this problem?
By the way: Our host Linux system is the latest SolydX distro (Debian based). We don't have any Ubuntu LTS systems here to try.
After this, I'm dreading the SDK for the PRUSS, which is the reason we are using these processors in the first place. I may be heading back to Freescale, as awful as that was.
