Linux/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X: AM335 Linux SDK install issue

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Linux

Hello,

I'm trying to install Linux SDK for AM335x using an SD-card provided with the AM335x Starter Kit.

Basically, nothing happens running the installer ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00-Linux-x86-Install found in the START_HERE folder of SD card.

I'm working on a 64bit Ubuntu running in a VMWare Player

uname -i

x86_64

I also tryied to install CCS runinng ccs_install.sh but it fails complaining 

/CCS/ccs_setup*bin: not found

while a file named ccs_setup_1.1.1.00033.bin is present in the CCS folder

Besides that, this page:

states that the latest release of SDK is v04.00 but my SD card has 05.05.

Best regards

Fabio

  • Hi Fabio,

    Probably you have flashed Linux EZ SDK 05.05 on your SD card which is very old release.
    I suggest you to download the latest PDK 04.00.00.04 from:
    www.ti.com/.../PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X

  • Hello,

    I installed 04.00 PDK and it seems to have been installed fine. I also installed CCS7, install was ok but when I run the application it "dies" after short time while I'm setting up the project, or just waiting for a minute after startup. I run from a terminal to see if any message is shown and I found this:

    fabio@fabio-vm:/opt/ti/ccsv7/eclipse$ ./ccstudio

    dvtLogOptions.xml DOES NOT exists
    Exception in thread "DVT Disk Space Monitor" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.ti.util.diskspacemonitor.DiskSpaceMonitor.sendLowDiskSpaceEvent(DiskSpaceMonitor.java:113)
        at com.ti.util.diskspacemonitor.DiskSpaceMonitor.access$300(DiskSpaceMonitor.java:30)
        at com.ti.util.diskspacemonitor.DiskSpaceMonitor$DiskSpaceMonitorThread.run(DiskSpaceMonitor.java:158)
    Killed
    fabio@fabio-vm:/opt/ti/ccsv7/eclipse$ ./ccstudio

    Killed
    fabio@fabio-vm:/opt/ti/ccsv7/eclipse$

    The first execution I started setting up a project and CCS disappeared after a little time during such setup, The second execution of ccs I just waited for a while until it disappeared and this seems to happen every time I run it.

    Thanks

  • Hello, I have a new issue after upgrading to SDK 04.00

    The Starter Kit touch screen no longer works after upgrade: I can see the Matrix App Launcher screen on the display, but it is completely unresponsive to touch.

    states 

    NOTE

    You may be required to calibrate the touchscreen. If so follow the on screen instructions to calibrate the touchscreen.

    but I have no idea how to reach and read such instructions, since nothing happens touching the screen.

    Just to verify, I booted the kit using an Android SD card and the touch screen works fine in that environment.

    Thanks and best regards.

    Fabio
