Arago Filesystem for DM8168

Sylvain LANDAIS

Hi,

I would like to use Arago to build a Filesystem with DVRRDK for DM8168.

1- I setup the build environment like this http://arago-project.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_Up_Build_Environment

2 - I succeed to build arago-base-tisdk-image for am335-evm target machine with the following command : MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake arago-base-tisdk-image

Can I use the am335x filesystem image with a DM8168 ?

How to build arago-base-tisdk-image for dm8168, it seems the support for dm8168 is removed from meta-ti http://arago-project.org/pipermail/meta-arago/2014-January/002895.html

Do you know the best way to build a custom filesystem from Arago for DM8168 ?

Hi Sylvain,

For DM81xx DVR RDK support, you should contact your local TI FAE.

I can provide you some pointers for DM81xx EZSDK, which might be also valid for DM81xx DVR RDK.

DM81xx device is not supported using OE Core / Yocto. Even if it was it wouldn't be anything close to what is included in the SDK and will be missing a lot of device specific features. EZSDK was made with Classic OpenEmbedded and Arago, not with OE-Core/Yocto and meta-arago.

TI81xx platform is deprecated.

git.yoctoproject.org/.../

We have small ARAGO filesystem in the DM816x EZSDK package that you might use:
{EZSDK}/filesystem/arago-base-tisdk-image-dm816x-evm.tar.gz

See also the below wiki pages:

Hi Pavel,

Thank you very much for your reply, it helps me a lot to see more clearly about the arago project history.

I would like to customize a DM816x EZSDK from Classic OpenEmbedded and Arago. I used this repository http://arago-project.org/git/people/?p=siddharth/arago-c6a8.git;a=summary and I followed the old building Arago guide http://arago-project.org/wiki/index.php/Building_with_Arago

The build of D816x EZSDK fails because of broken links. It seems this repository is fully deprecated. Are there an other means to build a custom DM816x EZSDK from Classic OpenEmbedded and Arago with updated links ? http://arago-project.org/git/people/?p=siddharth/arago-c6a8.git;a=summary is the good repository to do this ?

Then, I tried to build an Arago distribution for DM816x from Meta-Arago 1.2 Denzil. It's the last Meta-Arago version with the support of the c6a816x-evm machine.

I followed the new building Arago guide http://arago-project.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_Up_Build_Environment to build arago-base-tisdk-image for c6a816x-evm. The build was successful. I'm going to test this Root FileSystem with a DM8168, if it works I hope to add recipes to customize the file system with DVRRDK, software and my applications. I think its a good starting point to build a linux distribution for DM8168.

arago-project.org/.../ repository is not recommanded. The good repository is git://arago-project.org/git/arago.git like in the build arago guide arago-project.org/.../Building_with_Arago.

But this repository has the same broken links problem. To solve this problem see e2e.ti.com/.../1247132
