Issues installing DVSDK for DM365

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320DM368

Hi,

I'm having some issues to install the dvsdk_dm365-evm_4_02_00_06_setuplinux on a Ubuntu 10.4.4 LTS (which is in a VM).

I followed the installation guide on http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/dvsdk/DVSDK_4_00/4_02_00_06/index_FDS.html up to 5.2. Now I try to install the DVSDK first with just double click and ignoring 5.2, which fails. After the welcome screen and a click on 'next', I receive a default screen:

Translated from German to English: On top 'Topic needs to be written here.' and below 'Message needs to be written here.' The button on the bottom right corner says 'Cancel'. I have waited for 30 minutes, but nothing happens. Canceling the setup is possible, so the setup itself isn't frozen.

So I tried the step 5.2. which is in my opinion not needed. After that I tried to install it again and received again this screen.

Fortunately I clicked 'Enter' and the setup screen changed to:

So the buttons Backwards and Next came up and I can continue the installation by clicking the Next button.

Later I received this screen:

Similar default texts. On top 'Title' below 'Subtitle' and in the text-field 'Your custom text needs to be written here.' and the word below 'announcement'.

Also the Software Developers Guide didn't open after installation.

I think this is not normal. Is this only happening to me caused by installing in German language?

Regards David

    Hi David,

    No you are not alone, I had the same issues a few months ago when I installed the setuplinux dvsdk v4.02 (English version, provided by TI, and installation in French) on my host Linux ubuntu 10.04.

    Do not pay more attention to this graphical bug because the most important thing is to check if the installation was well done! Please check if you have all the directories and files for working at the installation location you chose. You should have directories such as "/bin", "/codec-engine_2_xx_xx_xx", "/dm365mm-module_xx_xx_xx", "/dmai_2_xx_xx_xx", "/psp"... etc.
    To open the SDG, enter to /docs directory and you should find "TMS320DM368_SDG_pdf".

    If you do not have this file architecture, the dvsdk installation failed! You should uninstall then install again (do not use "sudo" command, it is better to work into your personal area to avoid reading/writting issues).

    Several possible solutions to try if dvsdk installation failed:
    - check you hard disk free space (personal location, and free space pointed to /root);
    - when asking to link to your compiler during installation, check that you well mentionned the compiler location;
    - install updates for your host computer;
    - install fakeroot package ("sudo apt-get install fakeroot" in a console).

    Hope this could help ;)

    Hi Julien,

    Thank you for your help. You're right. The installation failed. I only had a folder named install-tools and tried to continue with the READ ME inside.

    Unfortunately it was impossible to uninstall the DVSDK. Therefore I deleted the hole folder system. To be save I also uninstalled and installed the Code Sourcery.

    I think I also had some update on my host computer before new installation of the DVSDK. So it looks like the installation was well done except the same graphical bugs, because I have those folders you mentioned above and the Software Developers Guide opened afterwards.

    Summarised it looks a lot better. Thanks again for you post. Let's see how the DVSDK is working.
