DRA72XEVM: build-core-sdk.sh hangs on ti-ccsv6-native-6.1.3.00034-r0 do_unpack

update: I have noticed that if I invoke "sudo ./ccs_setup_6.1.3.00034.bin" the license agreement GUI pops up in approx 4 seconds. If I invoke the installer w/o sudo the license agreement never appears. The CCS6.1.3.00034_linux.tar.gz was downloaded as my user, and all files are owned by me.

Hi John,

do you have CCS6.1.3.00034_linux.tar.gz copied to tisdk/downloads directory and also created "tisdk/downloads/CCS6.1.3.00034_linux.tar.gz.done" file as described here:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_Linux_Automotive_Software_Developers_Guide

Regards,
Yordan

Hi Yordan,

Yes, I have both the gz file and touched the done file in tisdk/downloads and in yocto-layers/downloads

jalfredo@jalfredo-Precision-3510:/opt/TI$ ll tisdk/downloads/CC*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jalfredo jalfredo 769787155 Apr 25 13:39 tisdk/downloads/CCS6.1.3.00034_linux.tar.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jalfredo jalfredo 0 Apr 24 16:03 tisdk/downloads/CCS6.1.3.00034_linux.tar.gz.done

The ./build-core-sdk.sh dra7xx-evm appears to run properly, executing tasks until only the CCS task remains but never completes.

Currently 1 running tasks (7120 of 7294):
0: ti-ccsv6-native-6.1.3.00034-r0 do_unpack (pid 12171)

I manually unzipped the tar.gz into my ~/Downsloads and found that I can

sudo ./ccs_setup_6.1.3.00034.bin

and the license agreement GUI pops up, but if I try to invoke it as normal user it just hangs--no license agreement GUI. I tried to run build-core-skd.sh as root but it complained, saying bitbake should not be run as root.

I see no missing runtime dependencies from ccs_setup_6.1.3.00034.bin

jalfredo@jalfredo-Precision-3510:~/Downloads/CCS6.1.3.00034_linux$ ldd ./ccs_setup_6.1.3.00034.bin
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf7763000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xf76c4000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xf76bf000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf7508000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf773c000)

Also, I see that a directory is created in /tmp/ccs_b29428b7-3f5d-4a29-44fb-1122751677b0/ and a bitrock_installer.log shows what looks like a bundled tcl interpreter being run from from a script. If I manually run the tclsh.sh it also hangs. If I manually sudo run the tclsh.sh the license agreement GUI pops up.

Is the license agreement GUI supposed to popup during the build-core-sdk? How should the build-core-sdk proceed after it gets to the "ti-ccsv6-native-6.1.3.00034-r0 do_unpack"?

Thanks for your help,

John Alfredo

Update

I started the build-core-sdk.sh again and after progressing to

Currently 1 running tasks (1154 of 7422):
0: ti-ccsv6-native-6.1.3.00034-r0 do_unpack (pid 26021)

I attached strace to the ccs_setup_6.1.3.00034.bin process

sudo strace -p 26025

and what I am seeing is continual select and read

_newselect(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {858993459200000, 858993459200000}) = 0 (Timeout)

So it looks like it is trying to get input from somewhere, but never getting it. Is there someway to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Hi John,

I have forwarded the question to Yocto expert for help.

Hi Yordan,

OK, however the problem appears to be with ccs_setup_6.1.3.00034.bin (Code Composer Studio from TI) hanging during build-core-sdk.sh. What I found was that ccs_setup_6.1.3.00034.bin hangs if run as a normal user, but appears to run properly if run as root via "sudo", however I can't run the build as root.

I don't know who is responsible for Code Composer Studio, however it is a Texas Instruments package, so I wanted to mention it.

Thanks for your help,

John Alfredo
