Linux/TDA2PXEVM: mksdboot.sh issues

Part Number: TDA2PXEVM

Tool/software: Linux

I have a TDA2PxEVM board and I'm running Processor SDK 3.05 Vision on Ubuntu 18.04LTS (native installation, not a VM).

I built the default examples for the TDA2PxEVM, following the instructions in the Linux user guide, and this appeared to go OK. My problem is that I'm having difficulty generating a working SD card that can be used to boot the system.

I ran the mksdboot.sh script that is supposed to create partitions on the SD card and copy over needed files. It created the partitions, but returned some errors and never copied over the files. (In the following, I replaced my username with <user>.)

➜  build sudo ./hlos/scripts/linux/mksdboot.sh --device /dev/mmcblk0 --appname apps --makeconfig tda2px_evm_linux_all

What is the expected state of the card before running the script? I presume it should initially be formatted as FAT32. When making an RTOS bootable card on Windows, I needed to use diskpart.exe to mark it as Active. Do I need a similar step here?

Since the script appeared to create the partitions but didn't copy over any data, I performed the following commands manually:

cd /home/<user>/ti/PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_05_00_00/vision_sdk/binaries/apps/tda2px_evm_linux_all/hlos/linux/boot
cp MLO /media/<user>/boot
cp u-boot.img /media/<user>/boot
cp uenv.txt /media/<user>/boot
sudo tar xf tisdk-rootfs-image-dra7xx-evm.tar.xz -C /media/<user>/rootfs

When I attempted to boot off the SD card, I received the following UART output via Putty:

Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!
=> 

Why does the mksdboot.sh script fail, and why does the card fail to boot even when I manually copy over the files? Ubuntu 18.04LTS should be supported, right? I upgraded from 16.04LTS, and don't remember which Ubuntu version I was running when I originally installed the processor SDK - would that matter?

Thanks.

  • Hi,

    it looks that the argument to "--device" of the script is wrong. It should be the parent device of the SD card. For example it can be /dev/sdb (you can have also /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2, ... for the existing partitions on the card).
    Important note is to make sure that it is not your HDD node (it might be /dev/sdaXXX), otherwise it will be formatted by the script. You can run "ls /dev/sd*" without the card inserted in the reader and then again with the card inserted to see which is the device node of the card.

    Regards,
    Yordan
  • Hi Yordan,

    My laptop has a built-in card reader that mounts as /dev/mmcblk0/ and when I use that, the script fails as above. After reading your message, I tried using an external card reader that mounts as /dev/sdc and when I used that, the script ran correctly without errors, which is great!

    However, the EVM board still does not boot correctly off the SD card. Can you take a look at the UART output and advise what is wrong?

    Thanks.

    Wrong Image Format for bootm command
    ERROR: can't get kernel image!
    => 
  • Hi,

    here are a few things to check:

    - make sure SYSBOOT pins are set to SD boot mode as described in VisionSDK_Linux_UserGuide.pdf

    - check that zImage and .dtb files are presented in /boot directory on rootfs partition of the card

    - you can stop at the u-boot prompt and run the commands:
    env default -fa
    saveenv
    and try again

    - in the file uenv.txt set 'root=/dev/mmcblk1p2' instead of root=PARTUUID=${uuid} and give a try.

    Regards,
    Yordan
  • Hi Yordan,

    The boot pins should be set correctly, since I have been booting off the SD previously using TI RTOS only.

    I see the following files and symbolic links in the rootfs/boot/ directory on the SD card:

    I didn't notice any changes from the u-boot commands or the change to uenv.txt that you suggested.

    What do you recommend that I check next?

    Thanks.

  • Hi,

    Is it possible to try this on a machine running Ubuntu 16.04? There was another customer who faced the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04 (attached thread for your reference -- you can use the prebuilt binaries attached in this thread as well and give it a try).

    e2e.ti.com/.../759776

    Could you also try re-flashing the SD card?

  • I do not have convenient access to a Ubuntu 16.04 machine. Ubuntu 18.04 compatibility is probably of strong interest to many TI customers. Can you please test this on your end? I am just using stock unmodified code so far while trying to get Linux running.

    I tried using a VirtualBox 16.04 machine, but enabling access to the SD card caused the machine to be unstable, and I'm not sure that my Windows 10 host machine will be able to handle the multiple partitions including Ext4. I am more confident using my native Ubuntu machine, but it has already been upgraded to 18.04 under the assumption that TI would be compatible.

    I tried the prebuilt files from the link above and got the same errors as above, except the CRC errors are no longer present.

    I also tried reflashing the SD card, but it still fails.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks.
  • Hi,

    Instead of using the script is it possible to create partitions on a new SD card using the gparted tool (create boot -- FAT32 and rootfs -- ext4 partitions)? You can then untar the image to the ext4 partition and then move contents to the FAT32 partition.

    Please let us know if this works?

  • What is the latest Ubuntu that has been tested to work with Processor SDK at TI? The user guide says to use Ubuntu 14.04LTS, but I would prefer to use a later one. If need be, I should be able to produce the needed files in a virtual machine and copy them to the SD card manually (mounting the SD card in the virtual machine causes the VM to be unstable and crash).

    The Linux user guide gives 3 or 4 sets of instructions for building different types of use-cases. However, all of them seem to assume that a camera is present. Is there a recommended set of build instructions for the simplest embedded Linux use-case with no additional hardware required except the EVM board? I don't think the lack of a camera is what caused the errors above - it doesn't appear to have progressed that far.

    Thanks.
  • Hi,

    The Processor SDK has been tested to work/build using Ubuntu 16.04 without any issues.

    If you're using Vision-SDK then a test-case which doesn't need camera (option 8 under the single camera use-case -- this test-case displays a weston wallpaper in the background and doesn't need a camera).
