DRA821U: OPKG feed URL broken

Part Number: DRA821U
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRA821,

Hi,

I've just started using the DRA821 evaluation board.  I'm using the supplied Linux SD card but the opkg feed URLs are broken - see below (also a quick ping at the bottom just to check DNS and network are working).

I can see older posts about this, but this is brand new kit so should just work.  Is there an updated address I can use?

  • Hi Team,

    It's been a few days with no response, please could you reply to Mat's post above, 

    Thanks and best regards, 

    Dan

  • Hi Dan,

    Sorry about the delayed response.

    TI does not provide a publicly accessible package feed. This preconfigured okg configuration for the feed is pointing to an internal repository (also experiemental) that acts as a place holder for the package feed configuration.

    We do not have any plans to make an externally visible package feed available.

    You have to use the regular options:

    1. Build the filesystem with the required additional packages for your target device (DRA821U) by bitbake.
    2. Build the required packages on your Linux machine and transfer the "IPK" files and install on target by "opkg install"

    Regards

    Karthik
