Build DVSDK filesytem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM3730

Hello all,

We have developed a custom board based on DM3730 using the DVSDK 4.03.00.06. Our kernel is based in the one provided by the DVSDK and we have used the toolchain that is included with it (Arago 4.3.3).

Now, we are trying to regenerate the filesystem dvsdk-dm37x-evm-rootfs.tar.gz provided with the DVSDK 4.03.00.06 using Arago, but we have several problems. It seems that it is outdated. Arago page now refers to Linaro 4.7 toolchain which more modern that the one provided by the DVSDK, so we have followed the instructions provided in the DVSDK documentation (ti-dvsdk_dm3730-evm_04_03_00_06/psp/docs/Building-RootFs-Arago.html) and launch the compìlation (MACHINE=dm37x-evm bitbake arago-dvsdk-image). This compilation presents errors in some recipes such as cmem, dsplink, sdma, lpm, dmai modules. In addition, the versions of these modules included in the compilation are different to the ones in the DVSDK.

Has anyone else faced these problems? Should we checkout to a specific commit in the Arago git repositories? Is this the right approach or should we change to another distro?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Are you see some errors of warnings in the building log? Could you attach the log to analyze it.

Hi Tsvetilin,

Please, find attached the log error when compiling dsplink with linaro 4.5.3 and old (classic?) Arago. I have simliar error when compiling with the arago toolchain provided with DVSDK 4.03.00.06 (4.3.3).

Regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I can not reproduce your issue but I recommend you to try the following guide:

http://arago-project.org/wiki/index.php/Building_with_Arago

If the issue still appears try to duplicate the thread in the Linux E2E forum at the link:

Hi Tsvetolin,

Sorry, I forgot to point out that we use kernel 2.6.37. This is the kernel used by DVSDK and we have made all our development focused in that kernel version. We have modified linux-omap3_2.6.37-psp04.02.00.07.sdk.bb so that this kernel is built with DM37x-evm machine, otherwise you'll be compiling against kernel 2.6.32. In this case, arago-dvsdk-image builds properly.

However, if I select kernel 2.6.37 by modifying linux-omap3_2.6.37-psp04.02.00.07.sdk.bb, I have the before mentioned errors. This dsplink version (1.65.00.02) seems to be not compatible with this kernel (DVSDK includes dsplink 1.65.01.05). So I think that I should choose a newer dsplink version as well as newer versions for codec-engine, linux-utils and friends. Please, advice me if this is not the right path.

Therefore, I have modified CE_VERSION=2.26.0.2.11 in local.conf and create angstrom-codec-engine-2.26-preferred-versions.inc from 2.25 version:

PREFERRED_VERSION_ti-codec-engine = "2_26_02_11"

PREFERRED_VERSION_ti-biosutils = "1_02_02"
PREFERRED_VERSION_ti-cgt6x = "6_1_14"
PREFERRED_VERSION_ti-dspbios = "5_41_03_17"
PREFERRED_VERSION_ti-dsplink-module = "1_65_01_05_eng"
PREFERRED_VERSION_ti-edma3lld = "01_11_02_05"
PREFERRED_VERSION_ti-framework-components = "2_26_00_01"
PREFERRED_VERSION_ti-linuxutils = "2_26_02_05"
PREFERRED_VERSION_ti-lpm-module = "2_24_03_10_eng"
PREFERRED_VERSION_ti-xdais = "6_26_01_03"
PREFERRED_VERSION_ti-xdctools = "3_16_03_36"

I have created recipes for linux-utils 2.26.02.05, lpm 2.14.03.11 (instead of 2.14.03.10), and edma 1.11.02.05, but I have problems with dsplink 1.65.01.05 as it is not available for download. Can you provide me the URI to download this one?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Daniel

Thanks Margarita,

I could not find Dsplink in these pages so in the end I packaged the Dsplink version provided with the DVSDK, generated the checksums and modified the recipe accordingly. In this way, everything compiled and worked.

Daniel
