Tool/software: Linux

Hi there, I have installed the SDK Linux 4.0.0.4 for OMAP L138 and have manged to get the pre-build images working but would like to build them using the make files and I am having problems to build U-Boot using the followinf document :

Typed following commands:

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- O=omapl138_lcdk omapl138_lcdk_defconfig
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- O=omapl138_lcdk

Hi Mitesh,

Can you please try to build the uboot from the following link and share your observations ?

HI Prabhuraj, Thanks for your reply.
I am currently using the SDK 4.0.0.4
www.ti.com/.../processor-sdk-omapl138
and installed the OMAPL138 EVM Linux SDK (64-bit Binary)

So I guess, this should have all the packages needed to just rebuild from the source. I have managed to use the pre-build UBoot and Linux Kernel file-system. I don't understand why now I needed to re-install the Arago package?

I have installed the following compiler or cross compiler:
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.11) 6.2.1 20161016
Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

According to the SDK version I have install; I guess this link should be used for rebuilding UBOOT:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Linux_Core_U-Boot_User's_Guide

Is my understanding of the package structure wrong???

Hi Mitash,

Thanks for sharing the details. Yes, ideally you need no go with arago and linaro tool chain that's recommended for lcdk should work.
Just to verify, you are using the toolchain from this link right?
software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

Standalone ARMv5 Linaro Toolchain - Linaro GCC 6.2.1 2016.11 hard-float tool chain is the recommended.
I can see from your post that you are using 6.2.1 20161016. Please confirm if both are same.
Mean while, I am downloading the SDK of OMAP L138 from the link you shared. I will set it up in my PC and see.

Thanks,

Hi Mitash,

I am able to set up the OMAPL138 EVM Linux SDK (64-bit Binary) SDK 4.0.0.4 on ubuntu 14.04 and compile u-boot successfully.

I am following below steps :

0) Ensure that you have the cross compiler from this link : software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

1) cd /home/prabhuraj/ti-processor-sdk-linux-omapl138-lcdk-04.00.00.04/board-support/u-boot-2017.01+gitAUTOINC+9fd60700db-g9fd60700db

2) export PATH=$PATH:/home/prabhuraj/Desktop/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-ti2017.01-armv5-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabi/bin

3) make CROSS_COMPILE=/home/prabhuraj/Desktop/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-ti2017.01-armv5-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- O=omapl138_lcdk omapl138_lcdk_defconfig

4) make CROSS_COMPILE=/home/prabhuraj/Desktop/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-ti2017.01-armv5-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- O=omapl138_lcdk

Please replace /home/prabhuraj with your environment path.
With this I could u-boot compiled.

As per your first post, I am guessing you are using gnueabihf directly as per the wiki page but not gnueabi which is part of the Linaro tool chain.

Please try this and let me know your observations.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Prabhuraj

Hi, will try the steps you mentioned. But any idea why is the new CROSS_COMPILER needed ?

Hi Mitesh,

I am not using another CROSS_COMPILER. The one I am using is available in the link you shared.
software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

In the above link, click on "Download Linaro Toolchain".

thanks,

Hi Prabhuraj,
thanks for your support.
actually, I didn't need to install the gcc linaro as separate package.
The problem was:
I was using :
CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
only by using the following the problem went away:
CROSS_COMPILE=/home/prabhuraj/Desktop/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-ti2017.01-armv5-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-

thanks ;)

Yes, I meant that, since the OMAPL138 Linux SDK Essentials already contains the CROSS_COMPILE ; there is no need to install it separately. Did the job anyways ;)

Cheers.
