Getting a dpkg-deb error: archive '<*.ipk>' saying that it has a premature member 'data.tar.gz' before 'control.tar.gz'

Currently using MCSDK-HPC-3_00_01_04. 

I have sourced setup_hpc_env.sh

I have set up TI SDK linux root file system in the EVM directory.

On executing ./install_hpc_packages_x86.sh /evmk2h_nfs/

the following errors show up.

Following is the error:

Thanks.

  • Hi Rajesh,

    I would like to suggest to use our HPC forum for your questions.

    e2e.ti.com/support/applications/high-performance-computing/f/952.aspx

    Thank you.
  • Hi Rajesh,
    Moved this thread over HPC forum for faster response. Thank you.
  • Rajesh,

    This is a known problem with MCSDK HPC 3.0.1.4. Please upgrade to current version available at software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html (3.0.1.8).

  • Hi Ajay,

    I tried what you suggested and upgraded to the latest version and installed from the scratch but I am still getting a few of those errors.

    Steps i followed.

    1. ./mcsdk_3_00_04_18_setuplinux32.bin
    2. ./mcsdk-hpc_03_00_01_08_setuplinux.bin
    3. created the EVM directory
    4. Installed the root file system in the EVM directory "sudo tar xvf tisdk-rootfs.tar.gz -C /evmk2h_nfs/"
    5.

  • Rajesh,

    The fix has not been applied to all the packages. This is why some of them installed and others didn't. This issue started occurring with Ubuntu 14.04 and we are working to update all packages to fix the problem. In the short term, an option is to copy the packages into the evm filesystem and perform an 'opkg install' after logging on to the EVM. Here is an example:
