PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X: am437x-hs tisdk-rootfs-image target build issue

Hi Veysel,

let me set this up and see if I can re-create the issue. I haven't recently done a Yocto build on v6.x so it'll take a bit of time for the initial setup/run. Will report back here soon.

Regards, Andreas

I'm have the build almost working (so not seeing your problem yet, there's some other issue I see related to my setup) but I wanted to provide a clue already anyways.

It seems to be there is some confusion between the 'uim' (Open Source user input library) and the 'uim-sysfs' (TI Bluetooth SW) packages. It wasn't immediately clear to me why the connectivity package seems to require package 'uim', if anything it should require 'uim-sysfs'. I also see there were several changes around this in the Git history.

As a quick test, can you try adding the 'uim-sysfs' package to the BT_TI definition inside meta-arago-distro/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-arago-tisdk-connectivity.bb and see if that makes a difference?

BT_TI = "\
    uim-sysfs \
    bt-enable \
    bt-fw \
"

Also just to confirm the obvious, did you try setting up a clean build from scratch?

Regards, Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I just removed "uim" from packagegroup-arago-tisdk-connectivity.bb and problem resolved, however there is another compilation failure occured, related with x11 as below:

Since we are not going to use sgx, I added below line to the build/conf/loca.conf file as mentioned in "Building the SDK -> Common variations" documentation in TI website:

MACHINE_FEATURES_remove="sgx"

Can you please help me to resolve this error ? 

One extra question: We are going to use secure boot and curently I use MACHINE=am437x-evm. Do we need to use am437x-hs-evm as MACHINE parameter in order to build with secure boot option ?

Thanks in advance,

Veysel

It seems like something is incorrect with your setup. I setup everything from scratch here using ./oe-layertool-setup.sh -f configs/processor-sdk/processor-sdk-06.03.00.106-config.txt and my ./meta-arago/meta-arago-distro/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-arago-tisdk-connectivity.bb recipe does NOT contain "uim". So it looks like somehow you setup an old version or things got mixed up. Please try to setup from scratch. This could well be related to all the issues you are seeing.

For AM437x HS you need to be building using MACHINE=am437x-hs-evm.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the feedback, since we have some unexpected differences after running oe-layer-setup.sh, I am going to do all the process from scratch to align with you.

However, arago-project.org is not accessible, I am getting unable to access while running "git clone git://arago-project.org/git/projects/oe-layersetup.git tisdk"

fatal: unable to connect to arago-project.org:
arago-project.org[0: 184.73.161.183]: errno=Connection timed out

Is there any problem related with arago-project.org, do you able to reach and do a proper clone ?

Thanks,

Veysel

The use of this server has been discontinued for the oe-layersetup project. If you look at later SDK documentation like software-dl.ti.com/.../Overview_Building_the_SDK.html the git clone operation is now pointed to 

git.ti.com/.../oe-layersetup.git

so you need to use that new URL.

Note that when 'resurrecting' an older config file like for v06.03 you will likely need to update other URLs part of the config file and some recipes as well. For example, the top level config file entry for 'meta-arago' layer should now point to 'meta-arago,git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-arago' instead of 'meta-arago,git://arago-project.org/git/meta-arago.git'.

Regards, Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your quick feedbacks.

I successfully cloned the oe-layer project over git.ti.com, and did some modifications in processor-sdk-06.03.00.106-config.txt to replace arago-project URLs with git.ti as below:

meta-processor-sdk,git://git.ti.com/processor-sdk/meta-processor-sdk.git

meta-arago,git://git.ti.com/arago-project/meta-arago.git

additionally, some of the recipes got the fetch index failure and I also updated the bb files of them from https://git.yoctoproject.org/

recipes-connectivity/mobile-broadband-provider

recipes-support/lz4

recipes-support/iso-codes

Build is now ongoing. I'll let you know once it finishes. But can you please confirm modifications that I've mentioned above ?

Thanks in advance,

Veysel

Hi Andreas,

Unfortunately, build stopped with another error as below:

Looks like there is no file called secure-binary-image.sh. Can you please advice ?

Thanks in advance,

Great, thanks for working through those issues and figuring them out.

Hi Andreas,

I followed the procedure from "Processor SDK SECDEV Build and Install Guide":

Exported related environment variables, installed required Linaro GCC and successfully ran the "secure-binary-image.sh". As a result ppa_am43xx.bin created and I put it under pre-built-binaries directory. Then build of tisdk-rootfs-image completed successfully.

Thanks for all your support, now I will move to flashing images into our custom board.

Thanks in advance,

Veysel
