PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X: Linux cross compile toolchain cannot wget.

Genius 3186 points

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X

Hi 

May I have a question about processor SDK AM64 (Yocto) Linux build step?

I am  trying build Linux.

In cross compile toolchain install step,

I can not wget.

If I access https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu/11.3.rel1/binrel/ Folder,

It seems removed.

How was your environment?

Thanks,

GR

  • I just tried it out, and I could successfully download the referenced toolchains using the below commands, pasted from my shell window:

    $ wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu/11.3.rel1/binrel/arm-gnu-toolchain-11.3.rel1-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
    
    $ wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu/11.3.rel1/binrel/arm-gnu-toolchain-11.3.rel1-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu.tar.xz

    While we are at it, you can actually skip the downloading and setup (via `export`) of those "external" toolchains when setting up a Yocto build for SDK 9.x as those are NOT needed. With SDK v9.x we switched to what's called "internal" toolchains; meaning Yocto builds its own cross compilation toolchains it needs during the build process. Our documentation however does not yet reflect this, unfortunately. Will get it updated for the next release.

    (also if you do need to use those external toolchains for whatever reason, they are also available and get installed by the downloadable SDK installer archive available at https://www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X),

  • Hi andreas,

    Thanks for your information.

    Thanks to this information, I could pass this step.
    Best regards,
