hi,

I downloaded the SDK (not the last one, the one that was valid in Jun).

how can I check which SDK version is it? and how can I check what is the Linux kernel that included in this SDK?

thanks!

Hello Eliah,

The number after the *-evm- is the corresponding SDK version.
You can check the kernel versions here.

Also the software manifest files contains all the software/version related information.

Best regards,
Kemal

thanks Shakir.
the number after the -evm is 01.00.00.00 so I don't know what this means...
I don't see where exactly in the link you mention I can see the Linux kernel number of each SDK.
I can see only the current (latest) one.

where can I find the SW manifest files?

thanks again,
Eliah

The 01.00.00.00 means SDK 1

For example:
ti-sdk-am335x-evm-07.00.00.00-Linux-x86-Install.bin --> SDK 7
ti-sdk-am335x-evm-08.00.00.00-Linux-x86-Install.bin --> SDK 8

Yes, that is right it is possible to see only the latest one over this link which I gave.

For the earlier versions you can get this information from the release notes and the software manifest.

Release notes wiki page:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Processor_SDK_Linux_Release_Notes

Every SDK contains software manifest which can be accessed online over the SDK download page:

This link is for SDK 1
http://software-dl.ti.com/sitara_linux/esd/processor-sdk/PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-AM335X/01_00_00_00/index_FDS.html

This is the software manifest for SDK 1

http://software-dl.ti.com/sitara_linux/esd/processor-sdk/PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-AM335X/01_00_00_00/exports/software_manifest.htm

or locally in <sdk install dir>/docs/software_manifest.htm after the installation.

They contains all the software version, license and origin information which you probably may need.

hi,
thanks for your response, it has been very helpful.

but now that I know there is a newer SDK, what should I do? should I uninstall my SDK? (how do I uninstall in UBUNTU) or should I simply install the new SDK on top of the current?

thanks :-)

Install it in your desired place, the installer will create a separate directory for it and won't be in conflict with the previous SDKs. You can have many SDKs in one host machine. If you already have this version installed the installation will be terminated by the "existing directory error" message and won't let you to install.
