Shared file system for OMAP-L138

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Hello,

I am a student, and I am trying to start with the OMAP-L138 Experimenter Kit.

I am following the Wiki but I am stuck in exporting a shared file system for target access : http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_Setting_up_OMAP-L1_Target_File_System

There is this line at paragraph 4) : 

host $ cp -a /home/<useracct>/<target_name>/DaVinci-PSP-SDK-03.#.#.#/images/fs/nfs.tar.gz 

But when I am in the "images" directory, I can't find the "fs" directory. I looked everywhere whithout finding the nfs.tar.gz file.

Thank you in advance.

  • Starting with release 3.20.00.11, the file system is no longer included in the PSP package.  You will need to download it seperately from the product download page.  I will update the GSG wiki to reflect this change.

  • Thank you.

    About the product download page, I filled the page about the US Government Export Approval in order to download the ti_cgt_c6000_6.1.9_setup_linux_x86.bin file.

    I don't have any answer since 2 days, and I don't have any activation ID in order to download from TI's website.

    How can I get this software?

    Regards,

    Ben PHILIP

  • I would have another question. When I boot my OMAP-L138 EVM, I have this message : Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server

    My NFS server is working locally, but it looks like it is not working with the EVM.

    I did the following settings : 

    ethaddr=00:08:ee:03:b1:9b

    ethact=

    nfshost=192.168.0.237

    serverip=192.168.0.237

    bootfile=uImage

    ipaddr=192.168.0.190

    bootcmd=tftp;bootm

    bootargs=console=ttyS2,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=192.168.0.190 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.237:/home/bp/workdir/filesys/,nolock mem=32M

    rootpath=/home/bp/workdir/filesys

    And here is the end of the boot :

    Thank you for your consideration

  • Hi ben,

    I never saw this specific error, so think maybe google might help with some light in the issue. :)

    But here are some hints:

    1) Double check steps 5 and 6 of the page:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_Setting_up_OMAP-L1_Target_File_System#Exporting_a_Shared_File_System_for_Target_Access

    2) Check the firewall, please see this page:

    http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_NFS

    look at the GSG again and make sure you did not skip any step, it could be something specific to your network, etc.
