Unclear about a procedure in Sitara lab in wiki

Hi,

I read the procedures on:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_Linux_Training:_Linux_Board_Port

The sentence with "give provide" is unclear to me, see below please. Could you explain it to me?

Thanks,

Configure the board to boot using this newly built kernel over TFTP. By default the SD card provided in this lab has a uEnv.txt file that will download the Linux kernel over TFTP and boot the board using the root file system located on the SD card. At this point of the lab you do not yet have access to the MMC device to update the uEnv.txt file to give provide the IP address of the Linux host. The following command should be entered at the U-Boot# prompt by replacing <ip addr> with the IP address determined above.

    This is our proof reading mistake, I updated it, should just be provide.

    The lab is teaching how to store the u-boot environment variable serverip in the uEnv.txt file. When u-boot reads the uEnv.txt on the next boot cycle it will use this variable as the server address to tftp the linux kernel to the target board.

    Hi,

    Here is another unclear description:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_Linux_Training:_Hands_on_with_the_SDK

    I guess that there are some typos in it:

    "CCSv5 installed. This lab assumes CCS has been installed in /home/sitara. If you use a different location please modify the below steps accordingly.

    • The CCS installer can be downloaded from the http://www.ti.com/tool/linuxezsdk-sitara page and if extracted into the same directory as the SDK installer can be installed at the same time as the Sitara Linux SDK using the SDK installer.

    If you download the file CCS-5.3.0.00090_Sitara-ARM.tar.gz and place it in the same location as the SDK installer ti-sdk-am335x-evm-06.00.00.00-Linux-x86-Install.bin the SDK installer can then install CCS as well. The SDK installer is written so as to look for the CCS tarball, and if it sees the tarball extract it.

    As an example download the CCS tarball, and SDK installer to /home/rob/Downloads, extract the CCS contents and then run the SDK installer (you may need to chmod the file to give it executable permission).

    *edit* I updated the wiki page - does that description make it more clear?
