SK-TDA4VM: Which machine conf to use to build Yocto Image for the SK-TDA4VM

Part Number: SK-TDA4VM

Hello,

Which machine name should I use to build the yocto image for the SK-TDA4VM board?

This is the info available in the board I received: ti.com/sk-tda4vm-qsg

SK-TDA4VM Evaluation board | TI.com

I am using the  MACHINE = "j7-evm" and the board is booting fine.  Is this the right machine for the target ?

I got the confusion, because when I use the pre-built image from TI, I see the hostname is root@tda4vm-sk. But with the image I built it is root@j7-evm. I know I can change the hostname in rootfs to tdavm-sk. I would like to confirm if I am using the right machine conf in my yocto build.

Thanks & Regards,
Vinothkumar

  • Hi Vinothkumar,

    The machine name depends on which version of the SDK you are using (if you are using 8.6, you are using the correct machine).

    8.6 uses: j7-evm

    9.0 uses: j721e-evm

    Most if not all SK boards have <chip-name>-sk as their hostnames, if you booted the same image on an evm, it would change to <chip-name>-evm.

    Best,
