AM3359: SDK pages need fixing

PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X: Trouble with the instructions for "Using source package snapshot"

Howard Egan

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X

Hi:

Just to put this up top, this issue is preventing me from building SDK 08.

Having to rebuild my tisdk directory.  Have not had to do that for some time, and having many issues with links to git not working, and fetching not working.

Early this year I never had these kinds of issues, but I was hoping to use the "Using source package snapshot" instructions to get around my build problems.

I found this thread which I must say I agree with.  This section really needs fixing. The instructions are wrong for both 07 and 08 SDK version docs.

https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1011675/am3359-sdk-pages-need-fixing?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=%2525252522source%2525252520package%2525252520snapshot%2525252522#

The step-by-step (no steps in red), kind of imply that the file I need to download is of the form:

<target-board>-linux-sdk-arago-src-##.##.##.##.tar.xz

When I go to the downloads directory for  07 I see this file which seems right:
am437x-evm-linux-sdk-arago-src-07.03.00.005.tar.xz

When I go to the downloads directory for 08 the file does not exist.

The downloads dir I have is this:

https://www.ti.com/tool/download/PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-AM437X/08.02.00.24

I was playing around with getting 08 to build to see if I wanted to move from 07 to 08, 
but I can't get 08 to build due to failures in mobile-broadband-provider, 
which is why I was trying the source snapshot. See this thread:

e2e.ti.com/.../processor-sdk-am437x-mobile-broadband-provider-fetcher-failure-in-clean-08-build

This issue is blocking me from building 08, and currently there are other issues building 07 (see END of the thread below), so I am totally blocked at the moment.

    Hi Howard,

    ah ok I see, when you say build 08 and build 07 you were referring to the major versions of those SDK. Which one is more important for you to get working again? v8 or v7? I need to know how to prioritize this (it takes time to setup and fix).

    Regards, Andreas

    Hi Andreas:

    I literally just now got the SDK 07 config file working again ...
    configs/coresdk/coresdk-07.03.00.005-config.txt

    Apparently arago-project.org is no longer a site, so I used the git.ycotoproject.org ....  to make that bit work.  The file also needed a couple changes from git:// to https://

    So 07 is currently in the middle of a build, don't know what else I might run into but that is promising.  FWIW, I had version 07 working for many months, but left it for awhile. 

    Since we are just about to transition from EVM to a real product board, it seems like if we were ever going to move to 08, now would be the time, so getting 08 building seems like highest priority.

    I'm not wild about using the package snapshot stuff, but it would be a cool fallback for cases like this.  

    Anyhow, final answer, 08 higher priority for me at the moment than 07.


    Thanks

    Howard

    Yes. If you look at newer config files you can also see those changes being made, and it's always a good place to check for and back-port such top level URL changes from.

    It's bit unfortunate that URLs tend to break over time (in addition to branches getting renamed) but usually those are easy things to fix. If I was building a product I'd probably archive my build environment in a virtual machine and back it up to a server for future use.

    Let me know if you were able to build to completion or this still needs attention.

    Ok, let me see I can get this to build. We can continue the v08.02 discussion on https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1127637/processor-sdk-am437x-mobile-broadband-provider-fetcher-failure-in-clean-08-build

    So just to circle back to the original issue ... is the 08 source package snapshot ever going to get posted?   Seems like an important missing piece.

    Not anytime soon I'm afraid, there is no ongoing work at the moment on this. I made a note for us to consider adding this back in for earlier SDKs once we start working this again. If you have trouble with a specific package let me know so we can figure something out.
