Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X

Descripotion:

This post continues the privious question: processor-sdk-am64x-oe-layersetup-sh

Environment:

Device: AM64x SKEVM

System: Ubuntu 18.04 (build image) / macOS (monitor)

Documentation References:

[1] AM64x Starter Kit EVM Quick Starter Guide

[2] Processor SDK Linux for AM64X-07_03_01

Story Line:

This is how I build the image:

wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-a/9.2-2019.12/binrel/gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
tar -Jxvf gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz -C $HOME
wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-a/9.2-2019.12/binrel/gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu.tar.xz
tar -Jxvf gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu.tar.xz -C $HOME

git clone git://arago-project.org/git/projects/oe-layersetup.git tisdk
cd tisdk
./oe-layertool-setup.sh -f configs/coresdk/coresdk-07.03.00.005-config.txt

cd build
. conf/setenv
export TOOLCHAIN_PATH_ARMV7=$HOME/gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf
export TOOLCHAIN_PATH_ARMV8=$HOME/gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu
MACHINE=am64xx-evm bitbake -k tisdk-default-image

The image size and name seem good:

Meanwhile, prebuilt-default image from SDK can boot, I believe something wrong with the config.txt files

Thanks for the support from RonB & Jianzhong & others.

Hi Zehua,

When you boot the SK EVM with tisdk-default-image, you probably got the same error as tisdk-base-image. Is that right? I was mistaken in the other thread when saying the default image built with coresdk-07.03.00.005-config.txt worked fine on my SK EVM. It was actually also GP EVM. Sorry for the confusion.

So the issue is still release 7.3.0 didn't support SK EVM, and we need to upstream 7.3.1 config. Meanwhile, I hope the pre-built images of 7.3.1 can get you started with your development.

Regards,

Jianzhong

Hi Jianzhong:

Thank you for sharing this information. I can wait for the updated config file.

Actually my main concern is to install a package manager. I need to run docker on the device. I tried install docker, it was working. Now I need install docker-compose, which depends on

py-pip, python3-dev, libffi-dev, openssl-dev, gcc, libc-dev, rust, cargo and make.

I am wondering if you have experience on this?

Sincerely

Hi Zehua,

I'm not familiar with docker. You opened this thread earlier: https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1008801/processor-sdk-am64x-opkg-install-giving-error. It seems you found a solution. If you still have problems, please open a new thread about docker.

Thanks,

Jianzhong
