AM625: How to build/install docker

Hi Neeraj,

the AM62x Linux SDK v8.6 already comes with a Docker-enabled, ready-to-use filesystem images, see filesystem/tisdk-docker-rootfs-image-am62xx-evm.wic.xz. If you want to see how to add Docker to your own images you can look at how the corresponding recipe is constructed.

As for how to install things like Debian, Ubuntu, etc., there's nothing really TI-specific from this point on, so most/all resources and how-to guides you can find by searching the Internet should apply, like this one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kICnD0pRBZU   Also, you should stick to "headless" installations,  as far as I know GPU is not supported in the context of Docker and SDK v8.6.

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for the reply, If docker is already present, I might be missing something in that case.

Below are the steps to build and start docker into TDA4,

root@tda4vm-sk:~$ cd /opt/edgeai-gst-apps/scripts
root@tda4vm-sk:~$ source ./install_robotics_sdk.sh
root@tda4vm-sk:~/j7ros_home$ make scripts ROS_VER=1
root@tda4vm-sk:~/j7ros_home$ ./docker_build_ros1.sh
root@tda4vm-sk:~/j7ros_home$ ./docker_run_ros1.sh

Could you please share me steps on how to start docker for AM625?

Thank you

Neeraj

I can try to find some time to create steps on how to run headless Debian on top of our TI SDK Docker-enabled filesystem image, would this satisfy your request?

Hi Andreas,

Yes, you are right. that's what I am looking for.. actually we want to replace our exiting processor (non TI has uBuntu) with AM625 and this is the one blocker I see to get started.

Do you want to me try using same script as I do for TDA4 to see how it goes? 

Thank you,

Neeraj

The TDA4 script you found is for something very specific.

Let me put together a how-to on getting Debian running with the Docker setup but it'll take me 2-3 days before I can get to this, so stay tuned.

By the way we are currently working on an official Debian-based solution for AM6x. I think the plan is to have this available sometime in summer.

Regards, Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Thank you very much, 2-3 days is not a problem. I will wait..

"official Debian-based solution for AM6x" this would be just awesome!

Thank you,

Neeraj

Hi Andreas,

Did you get chance to try-out "how-to on getting Debian running with the Docker setup" ?

Thank you,

Neeraj

Hi Andreas,

Could you please reply on this?

Thank you,

Neeraj

Thank you Andreas Dannenberg.

I see a few issues with deb image but I will create ticket separately for better clarify.
