AM3358: problem with installing linux sdk

Part Number: AM3358

Tool/software:

Hi TI experts,

I am completely new to embedded linux. I have a beaglebone black and downloaded the sdk for am335x processor. it was installed successfully however when I execute setup.sh file to adjust the enviorment, the following error message is displayed:

TISDK setup script
This script will set up your development host for SDK development.
Parts of this script require administrator priviliges (sudo access).

Verifying Linux host distribution
Unsupported host Linux. Only Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is supported
Failed setup, aborting..

I have installed the latest version of ubuntu which is 24.04 LTS.

could you tell me what I should do?

thanks.

  • Hi Hamid,

    The error pops up because in bin/setup-host-check.sh we are checking:

    Fullscreen

    cwd=`dirname $0`
    . $cwd/common.sh
    echo
    echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
    echo "Verifying Linux host distribution"
    get_host_type host
    if [ "$host" != "jammy" ]; then
    echo "Unsupported host Linux. Only Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is supported"
    exit 1
    fi
    echo "Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is being used, continuing.."
    echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
    echo
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    You could either switch to 22.04 LTS version or change the name to noble instead of jammy and give it a try on your existing host, as 24.04 is nicknamed as Noble Numbat.

    Hope this helps

    Best Regards,

    Suren
