montavista linux on OMAPl137

Hello everyone,

 

I have never used linux but started with installing the software i followed steps on first to intall VMware and then intalled ubuntu linux using steps given in

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Before_the_Getting_Started_Guide

 

and even when i tried to intall the TFTP and samba server I could not see them in the system->administration menu of my ubuntu (vmware) window  how to debug this issue and what could be possible problems

 

Then when I had the linux running (with above deficiencies) I followed steps give on below

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Installing_the_Software_for_OMAP-L137

but at the end there were some problems extracting files from one of the tar.gz file and quite a chunk of errors in extracting files.These files might be useful later on so can any one suggest whats possible problem

 

 

Next I followed steps for restoring/flashing bootloaders. I followed steps on 

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Restoring/Flashing_OMAP-L137_Bootloaders . But even after getting the final msg of files matched for all three types of files on reset (after setting switch )I cannot see any activity on serial . 

I have used the spi flash writer for boards in our company with sst flash (modified program) and could get the boot up from the flash and see that for different applications but used only dspais format with using AIS generator utility for the forming .bin image

But couldnt see anything on the serial after programming these three formats provided in the whole package in the cd

 

I have few questions while using linux on OMAP l137 

 

How would the PC (running linux on VMware) connect to the target? Is it through CCS ( should I install CCS on linux too) or is there any other way (any utility or any softwre plug in) to connect ubuntu linux machine to target OMAPL137through JTAG 

 

there are lot of steps given in above links but in between if some step fails how to debug the issue is not given..

 

I also tried on steps for configuring the linux given on http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Building_the_OMAP-L137_Linux_Kernel but after few steps of setting up default configuration to OMAPL137 I could not go ahead with steps for menuconfig .. .. with errors saying invalid command

 

 

In  the steps in section Adding MV tools to environment in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Installing_the_Software_for_OMAP-L137 what does the command ~/.bashrc do as it gave me invalid command.. and using path and source ~/.bashrc has done some access change with one of the directories such that on trying to access it says "bash: cd: montavista_2: No such file or directory" and i was able to access that folder earlier..

 

 

Can anyone suggest any reference material or link to learn linux commands

 

 

Regards

    I got through with first two steps.. 

    solved the first one with enabling the auto mount of a shared folder option in Virtual box 

    and second one by using sudo before the command as not using that didnt had write permission in the folder

     

    But still have problem with flashing the bootloader. I have been able to flash it but I cannot see any boot messages on serial terminal. I have rechecked my steps.Is there anyone who had similar problem?
