PROCESSOR-SDK-AM69: issue running environment_setup

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM69
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM69A, AM69

I have been going through your getting started guide and trying to compile hello world.

I have ran into the following issues and have been trying to work around them and looking for a little guideness of where to start

First when running the environment_setup I get this error.

myhome:~/ti-processor-sdk-linux-edgeai-j784s4-evm-09_00_00_08/linux-devkit$ source ./environment-setup

-e: command not found

I have commented out the line :

-e export PS1="\[\e[32;1m\][linux-devkit]\[\e[0m\]:\w> "

To work around this for now.

After commenting out that line. I try to follow the command to compile hello world and I get gcc directory not found

myhome:~$ ${SDK_PATH}/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/${TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}gcc helloworld.c -o helloworld

-bash: /myhome/ti-processor-sdk-linux-edgeai-j784s4-evm-09_00_00_08/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/aarch64-oe-linux-gcc: No such file or directory

Hi Brad,

Thanks for bringing attention to a couple of bugs in the latest 9.0 SDK release. We will be working through these to share a fix with you, and will also have these fixed for our next SDK release. So far, I have identified a couple of issues, and will need a bit more time to identify any remaining issues with our build environment.

In the meantime, there are two alternatives that I can recommend while we work on fixing issues:

Moving to the previous 8.6 SDK release which can be found here: https://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-linux-j784s4/08_06_01_02/exports/docs/linux/Overview/GCC_ToolChain.html. I have confirmed the same helloworld example compiles with 8.6 release using the instructions in the documentation.
Compiling on target instead of cross compiling. Using the same helloworld.c file, we can compile with "gcc helloworld.c -o helloworld" directly on the board. May not be the ideal for complex applications, but for simple applications such as helloworld this may be a better option as it does not involve sending files from a host PC to the board. As a side note, for AM69A, we have more complex demo applications that are also compiled on target. For example: https://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-linux-edgeai/AM69A/09_00_00/exports/edgeai_docs/common/sample_apps.html#python-c-apps.

Takuma

Takuma,

For now I thik we'd be okay going back to SDK 8.6 but where is the download page for that version. I'm not seeing it

Hi Brad,

The 8.6 version of the SDK can be downloaded here: https://www.ti.com/tool/download/PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-AM69A/08.06.01.03. Note that the SDK is for AM69A instead of AM69, but in terms of all of the non-analytics generic demos, all of them should run exactly the same as the AM69 SDK.

Takuma
