AM62A7: How can I download "tidl_tools"

Hello Machida-san,

Correct, after running the setup.sh script from edgei-tidl-tools, there should be a tidl_tools directory that was downloaded. This is release and device specific. That is downloaded here: https://github.com/TexasInstruments/edgeai-tidl-tools/blob/2c321e1a071cf3fb9693562b295fd7acdd47fea3/setup.sh#L172

The URL is created using the SOC environment variable and the Release string, which is set within the script. This produces the following address: https://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/tidl-tools/09_00_00_01/TIDL_TOOLS/AM62A/tidl_tools.tar.gz. The tarball (.tar.gz) script is unpacked to get this tidl_tools folder. When unpacked, it should contain a collection of compiled library files (.SO extension). You can check the target architecture for these binaries with the 'file' command

reese@pc$ file ./tidl_tools/libvx_tidl_rt.so
./tidl_tools/libvx_tidl_rt.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=208eef468ea17d782bc7f490d76977fe1ef76dbb, with debug_info, not stripped

You should have contents in the unpacked directory as shown in the image;

Proxy and firewall can sometimes make it more difficult to download files like this. Environment variables like HTTPS_PROXY are sometimes important here. If you have that set, you might try running wget with the ``--proxy off`` tag. You can also put the URL I posted above directly into your browser, move the downloaded file, and use the tar command to unpack.

Does this address the issue you are running into?

Best,
Reese
