About AM335x Linux Filesystem

Hi,

I have a question about AM335x Linux SDK v6.00.

I understand that SDKv6.00 are base on Linaro Tool Chain.
My question is following:
In the directory ti-sdk-am335x-evm-06.00.00.00\filesystem,
there are two filesystem:
"arago-base-tisdk-image-am335x-evm.tar.gz"
"tisdk-rootfs-image-am335x-evm.tar.gz"

Is these two filesystem build with Linaro Tool Chain?
The first filesystem is named arago, so I thought it was build by arago Tool Chain.

By the way, does "tool chain" be used when building filesystem?

best regards,
g.f.

    Hi g.f,

    The arago-base-tisdk-image-am335x-evm.tar.gz is a barebones filesystem. It includes things like busybox and other packages but doesn't include alot of larger libraries like Qt, Gstreamer etc.. Its a good starting point for customers who want a minimal filesystem that can boot that they can later install additional software on top of.

    Tisdk-rootfs-image-am335x-evm.tar.gz is our full blown filesystem that includes every package we generally support. Qt, Gstreamer, SGX, etc.. This is also useful for customers who want to create quick demos or prototyping something using a filesystem that has the majority of the software that they may need already prebuilt.

    The reference to arago is based on the Arago distribution not the actual toolchain.

    Hi Franklin,

    Thank you for the reply.

    I'm sorry that I understand the features of each filesystem and
    that it is base on arago distribution.

    From SDKv6.0, the tool chain was switched to Linaro Tool Chain.
    In following TI wiki it said that by default all binaries included in
    the Sitara Linux SDK will be built for hard-fp(which is Linaro Too Chain).
    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_Linux_SDK_GCC_Toolchain#Switch_to_Linaro

    Each filesystem(argo-base and tisdk-rootfs) includes binaries files, right?
    So, I wonder that which tool chain are used for building binaries included in
    each filesystem. Is Linaro Tool Chain are used for building these binaries?

    best regards,
    g.f.
