DRA829J: Setting PSDK 9.02.00 environment

Hi José,

Thank you for posting your question on the forum. We have assigned your question to the appropriate engineer. Do note they are currently unavailable and please expect a delay in response. 

Best,

Asha

Hi José,

Can you test building the specific examples you require instead of building all? For example, make -s GPIO_LedBlink_TestApp_freertos  BOARD=j721e_evm core=mcu3_0. Then we may be able to see the specific examples that fail to build.
Thanks,
Neehar

Hello Neehar,

If I try to run the example you mentioned I get an error as seems to be a dependency with mcu1_0:

Now, I don't think that my compilation issues are related to missing components/dependencies; seems more like a problem with my virtual machine environment. Whenever I see a clang or coredump issue during the compilation, this disappears if I just re-run the compilation. That's the reason I want to check with you if there are some limitations with the use of the SDK in a virtual machine. My VM has the following settings: 16 GB RAM, 6 processors, 50 GB hard disk.

Going back to my main question, the steps I described (1 to 7) are correct in order to develop for the R5 cores?

My plan is to run some examples for 1_0, 2_1, 3_0 and 3_1 using FreeRTOS.

Hi José,

You should not have any limitations building and using the SDK on a virtual machine.

Can you try running "make -s pdk_libs BOARD=j721e_evm CORE=mcu3_0"?

Additionally, make sure to capitalize CORE as it is case sensitive.

Thanks,

Hello Neehar,

I executed the command you shared but the first time I got this error:

Then, I excuted the compilation a second time and worked.

Can you please answer this question?

Hi José,
Sorry for the delay in response.

José Daniel said:

I executed the script (/ti-processor-sdk-rtos-j721e-evm-09_02_00_05/sdk_builder/scripts) setup_psdk_rtos.sh with the options: --firmware_only --skip_pc_emulation --skip_atf_optee

Is there a reason you use these specific flags/options?

Thanks,

Neehar

Hi Neehar, 

I picked those options because I wanted to install only dependencies needed for MCU cores (1_0, 1_1, 2_0, 2_1, 3_0, 3_1). I did read the setup_psdk_rtos.sh and just selected the options already mentioned. That's the reason I asked you about this, I dont need Linux dependencies. So, are these opstions correct or should I pick diffent ones? 

Regards,

José Ambrocio

Hi,

Can you test running the setup_psdk_rtos.sh script without those options? Although you do not need the Linux dependencies, they will not affect performance or take much space. Try building once the full script has ran.

Thanks,

Neehar

My compilation is working even if I do use the options I mentioned. I did a clean installation in a new VM and I was able to see a correct behavior. My only question is that if the way I'm setting the psdk is enough to have a good env for MCU development (mcu and main domain cores).
