AM5718: Processor SDK Linux for AM57x

Peter Hong

Part Number: AM5718

Tool/software:

Previously, I successfully built tisdk-base for am5718 evm using tisdk 8.2.1 version. I see now that there is version 9.3 available. I am trying to decide whether to upgrade to 9.3.

With a number of descoped items, is 8.2 a superset of 9.3, with bugs which were fixed along the way to 9.3? What are some of the notable features that were descoped - not much detail in the notes?

If I proceed with the upgrade, I'd like to use Docker platform. What is the process for doing so? Just to confirm, Ubuntu 18.4 is still the required host OS?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hello Peter,

Please see the release notes for the information you are looking for:

https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/AM57X/09_03_06_05/exports/docs/devices/AM57X/linux/Release_Specific_Release_Notes.html#release-09-03-00

Docker platform is an open source resource that is not supported by our SDK. If you choose that as your path, support related queries for Docker are outside the scope of our support.

TI development has migrated to Ubuntu 22.04. Not sure if there has been any attempts to build this in 18.04.

Thanks for asking, I just noticed a bug in our documentation does not clarify the above.

Thanks for a prompt reply. Yes, the sdk 9.3 documentation mentions ubuntu 16.4 and 18.4 as host options. It also has a link for virtual machine option but it leads to an expired page.

So,jJust to confirm, sdk release 9.3 requires ubuntu 22.04 host?

Using SDK release 8.2 was somewhat challenging due to unexpected changes in ti git repo and package dependencies, any similar challenges with sdk release 9.3? Do you have links to posts concerning this?

Thanks.

Peter,

I can confirm that development and testing for 9.3 SDK was done in Ubuntu 22.04. I have filed a JIRA bug on the documentation you mentioned to correct this outdated information.

Yes the link is going to the same SDK documentation, here: https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/AM57X/09_03_06_05/exports/docs/linux/How_to_Guides/Host/How_to_Build_a_Ubuntu_Linux_host_under_VMware.html

This is also very outdated but there is a note with this in mind included.

For your last question, we do not yet have anything in particular. For the most part all changes were for the purpose of migration and updating pre-existing features. The only new development is the fix for Y2038 issue in 32-bit devices.

Best,

Josue
