Hi everybody , 

please I just need to run a demo , so I m trying to use  brebuilt  image binaries    emmc_files.tgz

(  http://software-dl.ti.com/omap/omap5/omap5_public_sw/OMAP5_Android_uEVM/5AJ_1_4_Release//artifacts/emmc_files.tgz ) 

I am on a VMWARE  virtual machine Ubuntu 10.04  LTS @ 64 bit .   

I untar the emmc_files.tgz and  I can see  USBBOOT , FASTBOOT are there  and executable , right propoerties . 

if I run   :   

sudo ./usbboot -f
I get   :
sudo: unable to execute ./usbboot: No such file or directory
please where am I wrong ?   exactly same issue on  executing fastboot .  I do not see any file linked dinamically .
thank you
bye

    It could be a file permission issue, can you do "ls -lsa" this will print file permissions? check that it is marked as executable, if it is not then you could use chmod to change it.

    Just like a complementary comment, in next link you can find " Tools & Dependency packages" information to install some tools that are used for development that could help to reduce possible errors.

    Hi Manuel ,

    I checked and forced permission before , but everything is fine . it looks to be related to some dependenics .  I ll do all the installation request as on release note.

    please if you have any idea on packages mandatory , any  advice is very welcome

    bye

    When trying to find USBBOOT dependencies I found next link with some information about downloading the source code and compiling it and with useful information.

    http://omapedia.org/wiki/Omapboot

    Thinking about the issue and Ubuntu-Linux version (some distributions-releases behaves different about file permissions rules),

    1. check that parent directories contains correct permissions too, in a nested directory if initial directory is not with proper permission the propagated ones are from the parent.

    2. other possibility is that the binary was damaged when extracted, I know it is very small possibility but it could be. Try extracting it again.

    3. check that executable permission is set too for root user, it could be applied to current user but not for root, this since you are using sudo command.

    4. in the first link I found a note about using Virtual Machines, it could apply similar fix of adding USB peripheral values , using sudo from within virtual machine is needed to access HW.

    5. check the versions-updates of the programs, during last months it has been a fix for some issues when running inside a Virtual Machine, updating both Virtual Machine and Flashing code. Some of this issues where because some drivers were not supported for used OSes or VMs.

    I know these last 2 points are more like when the program runs and fails connecting the device.
