Linux/MSPBSL: Building BSL Scripter for ARM Embedded Linux Processor

Hi,

so this i what i did untill now but go error at the end:

On Linux Machine
1- Send SourceCode Directory to embedded ARM Linux Machine
2- Download boost and send the /boost directory inside SourceCode
3- Make ThirdParty directory and inside there make include and lib64 directories
4- Send hidapi.h to include and hid-libusb.o to lib64 directory (Note: you have to download hidapi from github and do "./boostrap -> ./configure -> make -> make install(as root)" to get '.o' file from '.c' and rename hid.o to hid-lsusb.o)

On Linux Arm Embedded Machine:
1-Inside SourceCode Directoy on your embedded device you have to do "make" ->>>>>>>Here is where the error comes


./ThirdParty/lib64/hid-libusb.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:95: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 1


Whats wrong here? Do i have to make/build the hidapi on my embedded device instead?

So i build the hidapi in my embedded linux machine and the "hid-libusb.o" is working but i got new error when running make:

Hi Michael,

Which TI device you are using? Is it MSP low-power microcontroller?

Regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,

yes i am using MSP432. But i am not able to get the BSL scripter running on AM335x.
Its based on debian 8 ARM. I am trying to build the script for ARM CPUs.

Thanks,

Michael

MSP is supported in MSP forum, and I see you already doble post/ask there:

Can you provide more details regarding the problems you have regarding AM335x device?

Regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,

so the problem is to build the source from BSL Scripter on Debian Distribution.
I did exactly those steps on AM335x running Debian Jessie and on PC-Linux DebianJessie.
On both cases i ran into linking errors. The "udev" library references are not defined.
I know that there is a working BSL Script for linux 32 and 64bit. But i am trying to build it for ARM.
Now that on Linux PC i get same building errors as on ARM, i think this is not a specific AM335x issue.
I am stuck in building the script and i think it is a matter of proper link the libraries.
Is the README steps(Linux) on the SourceCode meant to be used for Ubuntu?

This forum support only Arago linux, that comes with the AM335x TI PSDK. Regarding other linux distributions (like Debian), you should check with the Beagle community forums.

Pavel

Beaglebone community has nothing to do with "building errors with BSL Scripter for linux PC". As i said this is not a AM335x issue i am having but building the BSL Scripter for Linux PC.
I thought someone here could help me on that.

OK, I am leaving this thread open for someone to help here.

Pavel

g++ ... -o BSL_Scripter.o Util.o ...
(.text+0x28): undefined reference to `main'

There is something wrong with the makefile; the name of the output file (the executable) that should come after "-o" is missing, so gcc overwrites the first object file (BSL_Scripter.o).

Hi Clemens,

i visit yesterday TI at the embedded world and i was talking with the specialist for the MSP430/MSP432 bootloader.
He said they are working on the MSP432 BSL Scripter solution for ARM based Linux CPU.
But for now he told me there is a BSL Scripter application note and source code for the MSP430 under ARM Linux.
So i am trying to find that and will test it on MSP432.

Hello,
we are working on the same issue. For now, we dont get the BSL-Scripter compiled on an ARM-system (debian / 32bit). Did someone find a solution for this by now? We got the same errors mentioned here and don't have have further ideas to solve this. Can anybody confirm it is possible with the right compiler and code-distributions?

Michael Liesenberg85 : Did you found the alternative package you mentioned? Where can one find it?
Dirk Michel : Was you able to successfully compile it for an ARM-system with your recommendation?

Hi Marcus, Hi Dirk,

i still dont have it running.

The fastest way is to implement the scripter on C or C++ using its source code as base.

The scripter only read the .txt output file and send it UART(BSL) commands on MSP432.

This is all there written already. If you dont need USB part like me, this is the best way.

If anyone have time to do this it will be awesome! Dont have any time right now.

Regards,

Michael

Hi Marcus,

the BSL-Scripter runs on a BBB with jessie. I tested it with USB2RS232-adapter to programm a MSP432 - it works!

I just did the steps mentioned before - only changes in the Makefile (pathes) are necessary.

Regards,

Dirk

Hi  Dirk,

can you make the BSL scripted for Arm as .deb package available or on github?

I am also using Debian Jessie but on iMx6.

Regards,

Michael

Hi Dirk,

i start building the scripter at begin and am facing a new problem:

root@:/home/MSP/SourceCode# make

g++ -std=c++0x -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -Wall -Werror -Os -Os -static -o  BSL_Scripter.o Util.o BslResponseHandler.o UsbComm.o UartComm.o Family16bit.o Family32bit.o BaseCommands.o Timer.o Interpreter.o ScripterStream.o FactoryTarget.o FactoryCommunication.o ./ThirdParty/lib64/hid-libusb.o -L./ThirdParty/lib64   -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system -lboost_program_options -lusb-1.0  -lusb-1.0 -lrt -lpthread

collect2: error: ld terminated with signal 4 [Illegal instruction]

Makefile:95: recipe for target 'all' failed

make: *** [all] Error 1

What did you change excatly? "- change the pathes in the makefile accordingly"

So this is what i did so far:

On Linux Machine:

1- Download BSL Scripter from Ti Page

2- Unpack and send SourceCode directory to ARM embedded Machine

On Linux Arm Embedded Machine:

1- Enter SourceCode Directory

2- Inside there, download boost version 1.56 with wget direct from the website

3- Unpack and go inside the directory

4- aptitude install libusb-dev

5- aptitude install libusb-1.0-0-dev

6- Run ./boostrap

7- Run ./b2 (takes a while)

8- Copy libboost_filesystem.so, libboost_system and libboost_program_options.so to /usr/local/lib directory

9- Inside SourceCode directory, make include and lib64 directory

10- Leave SourceCode Directory and download hipdapi from github

11- Inside the hidapi directory do: “./bootstrap  -> ./configure -> make -> sudo make install”

12- Inside “libusb” directory rename “hid.o” to “hid-lsusb.o”

13- Copy /hidapi/hidapi.h to SourceCode/ThirdParty/include

14- Copy /libusb/hid-lsusb.o” to SourceCode/ThirdParty/lib64

15- Inside SourceCode: "make"

Can you help me on this?

Hi Dirk,

thank you very much!
It works great!

Best regards,

Michael
