Hi Deepankar,

1. opkg is the package manager supported.

2. The Linux distro is created using Yocto, and it is the same Arago Linux distro used in PSDK Linux for TDA4VM on the EVM

3. There is no live package feed enabled as we mention in other E2Es: https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1082247/dra821u-opkg-feed-url-broken?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=opkg#

As an alternative, we do provide a Dockerfile capable of creating a container for Ubuntu which allows you to use the apt package manager, which does have live package feed: https://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-linux-sk-tda4vm/08_02_00/exports/docs/docker_environment.html

My recommendation is to run your test inside Docker. I was able to run the passmark tool inside Docker, once I installed libncurses5 with "apt-get install libncurses5" (libncurses6 is installed in the Docker container and passmark expects libncurses5).

Thanks for the response. I did setup a docker and installed libncurses5 using apt-get. When i run the test now it is still stuck at  this screen below. But it doesnot complain about anything now. Dont know what could have possibly went wrong. Any suggesstions? 

I was able to run it. The only issue was that  to start the test i have to press the "A" key. The serial console doen't always show this information. The score came out to be low as compared to my expectation.  Do you think doing a  CPU benchmark on a system having SD card vs a system having EMMC or SSD can impact the CPU rating.

Hi Deepankar,

It depends on what the benchmark tests are doing. An SD card will definitely be slower than SSD if read/writes are being done, and if that is the bottleneck for the test, switching out SD with SSD should improve test results.

I'm not sure if passmark is affected by the storage device, since I'm not quite sure how it is implemented, but if you do have a SSD card handy please try it out.
