Cant verify Linux tool chain for OMAP-L138 LCDK

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

Trying to verify Linux tool chain using Vmware.

I unzipped the ti-sdk-omapl138-lcdk-01.00.00 SDK on my virtual Linux machine (VMWare) running on Windows XP.

I have exported the TI_SDK_PATH and called the command “source linux-devkit/environment-setup" which seems to be OK.

However when I call arm-argo-linux-gnueabi-gcc –version  I get “arm-argo-linux-gnueabi-gcc  command not found”  Is there something else I need to do?

I have also called this command from the ti-sdk-omapl138-lcdk-01.00.00/linux-devkit/bin directory with the same result, however I can see the arm-argo-linux-gnueabi-gcc file in the directory.

    Tim,

    It could be the Linux shell. Can you let us know which Linux distro you are installing the SDK on?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the quick response.  I am new to developing software in linux.  Anyway, I was able to connect my Vmware machine running linux to the internet and download the SDK into my virtual machine.  When I un-tarred the new downloaded files everything worked fine.  Previously I tried coping the micro SD files onto a flash drive which was read by my virtual machine, this approach did not work.  

     Now I am working on connecting the LCDK to the internet.  I would like to connect my virtual machine to the LCDK card directly with no other internet connections.  (I am behind my companies firewall)  However I don’t know how to create an IP address for the LCDK card this way.  Can you help.

    I have another question.  I read somewhere that TI is exiting the Cell phone business.  Is this true?   If it is, how will this affect the long term availability of the OMAP processor.  We are using the processor in a new system, for an aerospace application, which once completed will be in service for many years.

    Tim,

    As part of a long-standing company policy, we do not comment on market rumors and speculation.  However, as stated recently, we are accelerating the expansion of OMAP processors into a broader set of embedded applications such as automotive, industrial, enterprise communication, vision and robotics, to grow the OMAP footprint beyond mobile.  This strategic focus for OMAP products includes continuing to sell OMAPL138 processors for embedded applications.  TI remains committed to the OMAP platform (including OMAP-L1 products) and our customers.

    You can assign static IP address to both the VM and the LCDK. The IP address has to be in a same subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.xxx). In order for your PC to still be able to talk to the Internet, it needs to have 2 Ethernet ports - one for Internet connection and one for connecting to the EVM. If you are using a laptop that has built-in wifi and wireline, the wifi port can be used for Internet access and the wireline Ethernet port for LCDK connection.
