TDA4VM: Operating System

Part Number: TDA4VM

Hi Experts,

I am looking at Processor SDK Linux for Edge AI  getting started page and I would like to know if the image from ti-processor-sdk-linux-sk-tda4vm-etcher-image.zip is the OS for this device or is it just an SDK? from what I understand, the image is both the OS and the SDK. Am I correct? if not, can you share what ported OS is compatible with this device? In addition, should I need to install a ported OS then this SDK to run the AI apps?

Reading further, the SDK Development flow details how to get and build Linux and RTOS which convinces me that this is the OS. Can you confirm?

Also, how can I add additional driver files to this SDK/OS?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Marvin

  • Hi Marvin,

    I would like to know if the image from ti-processor-sdk-linux-sk-tda4vm-etcher-image.zip is the OS for this device or is it just an SDK?

    The ti-processor-sdk-linux-sk-tda4vm-etcher-image.zip is the OS for the SK-TDA4VM device. Once flashed you will be able to boot into Linux, and there is a setup script that can be ran to install all the SDK components for running our various AI application demos.

    Additionally, the SDK Development flow documentation explains how to create the OS image that is in the zip file.

    Also, how can I add additional driver files to this SDK/OS?

    To install additional drivers, please follow the SDK Development flow documentation to set up the underlying PSDK Linux as this has the kernel source code. If the driver is part of the kernel tree, then they can be enabled using menuconfig and rebuild the kernel. If an external driver needs to be installed, you would need a recipe for Yocto to build and include the module.
