IQMath for C64x+ / OMAP 3530

The installer is really just a click-wrapped zip file.  Once you have the files on a Windows machine you could just copy/paste them elsewhere.

My development setup does not include a Windows box, although I can probably find someone who can temporarily install it from a Windows machine.  But I would like to request that TI provide a copy of the library that is suitable for direct installation on a Linux host.

Reid,

Thanks for the good feedback.  I just discussed the issue with the team in charge of that library.  They said they should have an updated version available as a Linux install by the end of July.  That obviously doesn't resolve your immediate need (just go the Windows route), but I wanted you to at least know that we were taking your feedback seriously.

Best regards,
Brad

Hi,

Is there any updated version of IQmath which support Linux host PC.

I ran into the same situation for the Beagleboard.  you don't really need to install anything the install will provide you with a zip file that I then moved to my linux box and used.  I can post the zip file somewhere online if you want to.

I simply don't have a Windows system - only Linux.  I tried unzipping sprc542.zip but was only left with a Windows executable: IQmath_C64x+-2.1.3-Setup.exe.

It's well past July of 2010.  Can someone simply throw the files in a .tar.gz file?  It's simply not necessary to make a Linux "installer" - in fact, an installer simply gets in the way and makes things painful for automated environment setup.

Thayne, here's a link to the extracted zip file so you can use "unzip" to extract it.  The name of the file is "IQmath_v213.zip" you have to scroll to the bottom of the page to see it sendspace likes to put other random download links for the download management apps at the top of the page.

if you have a problem downloading I can try to post it on my university's online storage ... but i would rather avoid that.

Hi ,

These libraries are not supporting for Linux Host PC.is there any Linux Host supported IQmath libraries?

I've been using these same libraries on both my Linux and Windows boxes for the last few months and they work fine.  You might be thinking that they should be ".la" ".so" or ".o" libraries which would be correct if they were GPP libraries but these are DSP libraries if you look into your DSP library directory you'll see that they're all ".lib"

Almohanad,

You are in violation of the license agreement to which you agreed when extracting the software.  In particular:

"You may not distribute, publish, rent, lease or
sub-license the Licensed Materials, or any portion or derivative thereof,
in a source code format or transfer or assign this Agreement without TI's
prior written permission."

Please take that down immediately.

I apologize Brad I was trying to be a good samartian because I remember running into the issue the other user was running into ... how can I also take down my post completely?  I'm sorry again I have great respect for TI as a company and all their products which is evident from how invovlved I try to be on these forms.

I just took it down .... sorry again Brad

Almohanad,

I know you were trying to be helpful.  Thank you for participating in our forums and attempting to help other community members.  I wasn't going to say anything initially, but after Thayne's comments I felt obliged to say something.

Thayne,

The reason you have to go through a Windows executable is because the code contains a click-wrap license to which you must agree before you can have the software.  In this litigious age it is unfortunately a necessary part of doing business for a big company like TI.  I have requested that the team in charge of IQmath make an official release for Linux.  In the mean time, I have attached a Linux version of the executable with the same click-wrap license.  Just download it to your Linux PC and execute the file from the command line.  You'll see a GUI pop up to go through the license agreement.

Best regards,
Brad

Thanks - that's exactly what I needed.  It would be nice to see that on the main download page: http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/sprc542.html

Brad, I really do wonder why TI has been promising this for two years by now without officially writing on the relevant page as asked many times to have this available on Linux.

CCS and other tools have been available, so why blocking instead of helping? I am sorry for our frustration, but it has been two years promise by now, and TI does not really seem to care about us. :(

Absolutely, ++++++++1

It has been available for Linux for well over a year.

Right, so it is just a communication issue this was not announced here.

Also, the Host OS does not really have any mentionings about Linux over here which essentially confused me to even look further, if it is not mentioned as supported:

I just now requested that we add Linux as a supported OS to the sprc542 folder.

Thank you.
