TDA4VM: Where can I download the SDK that runs the TDA4VM processor (Part No. J721EXSKG01EVM)?

Hi Masao,

This is the current latest SDK release and is designed to run on the J721E EVM, we will be releasing the 11.02 SDK next week.

Masao Takayama said:

I wrote the software to an SD card and started it up, and it appears to have started up on the console, but
after a while the system reboots and doesn't work properly.

Please provide additional detail, it is not clear what firmwares or overall stack you are running. 

The above is just the RTOS SDK, what HLOS are you using on the A72-side?

All the J721E/TDA4VM related SDKs are listed here: PROCESSOR-SDK-J721E Software development kit (SDK) | TI.com. You would also have to use the appropriate Linux or QNX SDK depending on your HLOS choice.

Hi Suman.

Thank you for your reply.

I downloaded
ti-processor-sdk-linux-adas-j721e-evm-11_01_00_03-Linux-x86-Install.bin — 2417019 K
from the URL you provided and ran create-sdcard.sh in
ti-processor-sdk-linux-adas-j721e-evm-11_01_00_03/bin$
to write the data to the SD card.

The console log displayed on the board is shown below.
Is there something wrong with the way I set up my environment?

Hi Masao,

The basic steps you followed are alright.

Do you have another board where you can try this same SDCard?

Is this a new board that you are trying to boot, or have you used this board successfully previously?

I recommend that you re-seat the SoM once to make sure it is not loose, pressing all 4 sides and tightening the screws a bit.

Suman

Hi Suman.

Thank you for your reply. This is a new board.
Also, we do not have the same board.

>I downloaded ti-processor-sdk-linux-adas-j721e-evm-11_01_00_03-Linux-x86-Install.bin — 2417019 K from the URL you provided,
>and ran create-sdcard.sh in ti-processor-sdk-linux-adas-j721e-evm-11_01_00_03/bin$ to write data to the SD card.
When selecting the shell, I got a problem log when using tisdk-adas-image, but it started up successfully when using tisdk-tiny-image.

This may be different, but I'm suspicious of the DT tree settings. Is that the case?

regards
Masao Takayama

Hi Masao,

Just to confirm, is it that the board boots up succesfully with 

tisdk-tiny-image but fails withe the tisdk-adas-image.
