SANGILI KUMAR
Genius 3920 points

I got beaglebone now i'm working with android in it. but i want to use this beaglebone for my linux development.

I have followed the procedure to create SD card in this link http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_Linux_SDK_create_SD_card_script.

first i tried with 2 partitions its booting in my beaglebone but i couldn't get the START_HERE directory in my ubunutu PC. its just open the boot partions in the SD card on my PC.

They i tried with 3 partitions, i cant get the files for 3rd partitions 

Enter path where SD card tarballs were downloaded :

Point to the directory containing the following tarball files:

  • boot_partition.tar.gz
  • rootfs_partition.tar.gz
  • start_here_partition.tar.gz
I'cant get this files. at where i can get this files.? TI provide any link for this content or its in Linux-SDK? but i alreday installed the linux SDK in my PC there is no files like this.
Kindly help me to get this files and i need to get matrix UI and have to work with CCS.

    Sangili,

    as mentioned in the Wiki page at http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_Linux_SDK_create_SD_card_script#Select_Number_of_Partitions the 3 partition option is meant more for board manufacturers since it requires the tarballs that are not published publicly.  For you use you should not require the 3rd partition since that partition contains primarily the SDK and CCS installers.

    Thanks for your replay..

                     Already i tried that link, its not boot up my device, when i press reset button in my beaglebone its simply showing " CCCCCC " in terminal window.

                     But in Linux development guide they mentioned that after initialize the Start_here.sh only we can use CCS and can do other stuffs in Linux. Then without the 3rd partition i mean start_here.sh how can i work with Linux SDK and how can i follow the steps mentioned in guide. 

                     Is there anyother way to perform that steps and get the user interface in my HDMI screen ? Now  i'm simply keep my beaglebone without doing anything. 

    Help me to follow the steps mentioned in guide.

    Thanks

    Sangili,

    The start_here.sh was intended to:

    1. Install the SDK

    2. Launch remote matrix

    3. Configure your serial console


    Since you already have the SDK installed and your serial console configured you do NOT need this.  Are you using the creat-sdcard.sh script to create a 2 partition SD card using the pre-built images as shown on the page I pointed you to?

    You should also make sure that your first partition has an MLO file and that the partition is bootable.

    Thanks for your reply Mr.Chase Maupin.

        Now i'm clear about start_here.sh. i have started the development. But in this SDK no support for DVI cape for beaglebone, so now i'm building kernel with DVI Cape support. 


    Thanks

    Hello,

    Just an additional question, beyond that of the origonal poster. I have an older Arago image (05.03) and I want to upgrade it to 05.06. I want to have a new starting point from which I can use the 05.06 SDK. As far as I can tell, I cannot upgrade to 05.06 using just the SDK. Can I get the origonal 3 partition tarballs for getting started on 05.06 Linux SDK? If not, what am I supposed to do to get the SD car up to a condition where I can use the latest SDK?

    Richard,

    You can run the create-sdcard.sh script found in the bin directory to create a 2 partition SD card containing the boot and rootfs partitions.  See http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_Linux_SDK_create_SD_card_script
