Difference between matrix-gui-e-1.3 and matrix-gui 2.0 for AM1808



hi,

i have downloaded 

ti-sdk-am180x-evm-05.05.01.00-Linux-x86-Install

ti-sdk-am180x-evm-4.0.1.0-Linux-x86-Install

both i have installed both of them, but when i view those example  codes especially matrix gui, one of them has 1.3 version and one has 2.0,

  • The problem is  ti-sdk-am180x-evm-4.0.1.0-Linux-x86-Install contains the matrix-gui-e-1.3, i want to build this using code composer but this SDK doesn't have QT libraries(i.e bin directory which contains qmake, uic, rcc etc ) which i have to include in CCS preferences
  • and the ti-sdk-am180x-evm-05.05.01.00-Linux-x86-Install contains matrix-gui-2.0, but it doesn't have .pro file, with having .pro file how can i import this to CCS as a QT project, but this SDK contains all supported QT libraries.
Can any one please clarify these issues,
Thank you,
K.Sreenivas. 



  • Hi Sreenivas,

    Please take a look at the Sitara Linux Matrix User's guide: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Matrix_Users_Guide to get an understanding of this updated Matrix software.

    4.0.1.0 is most likely using an old version of Matrix (Matrix v1).  This version was a Qt application. The updated version of Matrix (Matrix v2) is now a web based application that uses html, css, javascript and php. Which is why you don't see a .pro file.

    The link I provided goes into alot more details.

  • Hi Frankiln,

    Thanks for the reply and link, i want to compile the matrix-gui-e-1.3, version using CC studio, i am getting these errors

  • So looking at the release notes from our 05.02 SDK which is probably applicable to the version your using the "missing whitespace" issue is a harmless warning. The release note for 05.02 mentions that problem http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_SDK_5.02_Release_Notes.

    Changes to support debugging of Qt via ide wasn't supported in the version of the sdk your currently using.

    Is there any reason why you cant migrate to the latest sdk?
