AM62A7: Need clarification on SDK build output targets

Part Number: AM62A7

Hi,

In following the AM62A SDK 9.0.0 build instructions

https://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-linux-edgeai/AM62AX/09_00_00/exports/docs/linux/Overview_Building_the_SDK.html

 It talks about build targets. Can somebody clarify what each of these are in more detail? We're doing evaluation on AM62A-SK board and not needing AI at this point, just general Linux stuff. What target should we use? What are the real differences between these targets?

The “Build Output” is given relative to the arago-tmp-[toolchain]/deploy directory.

  • Hi Brad,

    If the customer is not intending to use the AI, then they can stick with tisdk-default-image which is our core foundational linux SDK image.

    This is the complete rootfs image, that contains standard Linux commands and features. This image also contains the TI component libraries, binaries and out-of-box examples.

    tisdk-edgeai-image would contain core SDK + EdgeAI features (DL/ML, Vison Apps etc..) 

    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

    Suren
