opkg setup on base-rootfs-am335x-evm

Hi 

I'm getting an error from "opkg update" when I'm using the base image base-rootfs-am335x-evm.tar.gz from  AM335X-LINUX-PSP-04.06.00.03 on my Beaglebone board (see below). How should the config file look for the Beaglebone ?

Thanks!

Ulrik

  • Ulrik,

    I believe those feeds were removed from the latest SDK because they are not updated.  In fact we don't have any real package feeds published for Arago.

  • Hi,

    I'm using base-rootfs (from SDK 05.05.00.00) on am335x-evm too, but I would like to add some packages already in tisdk-rootfs.

    Would it be possible using opkg? How do I have to configure it? I've found several .conf.sample files in /etc/opkg but they seems wrong.

    Or can I manually download packages used to build tisdk-rootfs from somewhere, and then install them?

    Sorry but I'm not familiar with opkg.

    Regards,

    Max

  • Unfortunately you would need to rebuild the packages you want and create a package feed to install them.  If you are already re-building the packages it would likely just be easier to add those packages to the list of packages to install into your file system and not even bother with a package feed.

  • Finally I've just copied the files I need from tisdk-rootfs to base-rootfs, looking at opkg info and dependencies to do the right thing. Not really elegant but quick and works.

    SDK 05.06 release notes state that: Migrated to OE-Core based build system. Does it mean Sitara SDK is not based on Arago project any more? Which are the changes, essentially?

    Thanks. Regards,

    Max

  • Max,


    The SDK is still using Arago, but OE moved from what is now called OE-Classic to OE-Core.  Arago is now available as meta-arago which sits on top of oe-core much like arago sat on top of oe-classic.  There may be some package version changes, but the fundamentals are the same including the use of opkg.
