TI Sitara Building Source Code for ICS on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Has anyone built Kernel for TI Sitara SK on a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I used the following link the process terminated with following errors. 

arm-linux-gcc: Command not found

I have the tool chain installed on my machine. I used the following command again to install the tool chain. Is there something I that I am missing.

sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi

gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi


I have read the following post too  http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/android/f/509/p/213364/753467.aspx#753467

    Mahendra,

    Are you using our linux SDK or android?  Either way the process should be similar. I will list the steps you can use to build it with our linux SDK 6.00.

    You can build the kernel in our sdk by doing the following:

    1. in the main sdk folder, "cd" into the board-support/linux-<version>/ directory
    2. export the PATH to your toolchain.  Example:
      • export PATH=$PATH:/home/sitara/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-06.00.00.00/linux-devkit/sysroots/i686-arago-linux/usr/bin/
    3. set your kernel config for am335x evm (works for sk, too):
      • make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-   tisdk_am335x-evm_defconfig
    4. now build uImage:
      • make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-  uImage

    Please let me know if that is helpful to you.

    Regards,

    Josh

    @Josh,

    Thank you for the respond. The error was due the fact the on the machine that I was compiling didn't have ia32-libs library installed.  After I did a 

    sudo apt-get install ia32-libs.

    I was able to compile both the u-boot and the kernel built.

    How ever the for the kernel process the output file was a "Image" file and not a "uImage" as described by the documentation?

    Can you please comment on this issue?

    Thank you

    Mahendra,

    I'm glad to hear you were able to build the kernel.

    As for a lack of uImage, did you check the contents of the <top kernel source dir>/arch/arm/boot directory to make sure there is no uImage there?

    Also, are you using our linux SDK or android?  If you are using the android sdk, I don't have much experience with it, so you may want to ask this question in the Android Forum: http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/android/f/509.aspx

    Anyway, let me know what kernel images you see in arch/arm/boot.

    **Edit: I realized you mentioned ICS in the title, which I assume is Ice Cream Sandwich.  If you can't find uImage in the directory I specified above, then you'll probably just want to see if the guys in the Android forum know what's going on here.

    Regards,

    Josh
