Linux/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X: Out of box build error

pathfinder

Tool/software: Linux

Support,

I am building the out-of-box SDK 4.01.00.06, i have changed nothing and i'm following : http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Linux_Kernel_Users_Guide.

I get to step : make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage and getting the following error?

Hi Mark,

I suggest you to check permissions of strict.pm script. Check whether your user is owner.

Tsvetolin,

strict.pm is /ti-sdk/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/lib/perl/5.22.1
I have ownership.

I found the fix. Not sure why it happened on a new SDK install?

error : arago-linux/usr/lib/perl/5.22.1 .) at ./lib/build_OID_registry line 14.
edit ~/ti-am437x_sdk4.0.01.06/board-support/linux-4.9.41+gitAUTOINC+e3a80a1c5c-ge3a80a1c5c/lib/build_OID_registry
comment out line 14 : #use strict;

Then 'make zImage' worked

(updated 2/21, 5/8)

Please do NOT modify the kernel sources as indicated in the answer on 11/7/2017. This is the TI suggested workaround for Processor SDK 4.1, 4.2, 4.3:

Set CROSS_COMPILE to include the path to the toolchain, but do NOT add the linux-devkit to the PATH.

Command-line example (using beaglebone black):

$ # do NOT export linux-devkit to PATH 
$ make distclean
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- tisdk_am335x-evm_defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage

Script example (using beaglebone black):

#! /bin/bash

# do NOT add linux-devkit to PATH
#export PATH=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin:$PATH

export ARCH=arm

# set CROSS_COMPILE to include the path to the toolchain
#export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
export CROSS_COMPILE=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

# delete previous binaries
make distclean

# pass in defconfig file
make tisdk_am335x-evm_defconfig

# make the kernel
make zImage

In other words,

IGNORE the "Compiler" step in the Linux Kernel User's Guide that involves changing the PATH, and update your CROSS_COMPILE.

This path will not work, because it has the linux-devkit in the path:

This path will work:

This workaround should work for Processor SDK 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3.

Nick (updated 2/21 for clarity & 5/8 for SDK 4.3)

I tried that, did not seem to make a difference. Removing "use strict" however removed the problem.

Same here. I have the exact same problem compiling the source code for am335x ICEv2 straight out of box. The workaround doesn't work at all. Removing "use strict" works.

Hello Martin & Cody,

Thank you for giving feedback!

1) Did you make sure that the path doesn't have linux-devkit in it? Here's what the path looks like on my machine:

2) I posted a general version of the code, did you customize it for your system? Here's the commands I used for BeagleBoneBlack and AM57xx EVM:

$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-  zImage
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am57xx-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-  zImage

Regards,

Nick

Hi Nick,

I wrote a build script to automate the process. Part of my script is follow

#!/bin/bash

set -e

...

export PATH=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-rt-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin:$PATH

export ARCH=arm

export CROSS_COMPILE=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-rt-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

...

make zImage

...

Initially I used export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-, but that didn't work either, however it works fine on ti-processor-sdk-linux-rt-am335x-evm-03.01.00.06.

Before executing the script my $PATH variable is followed:

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/db/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin:/opt/GitEye

Cody

TI__Guru** 101780 points

Hello Cody,

Thanks for the reply. The export PATH= line in your script adds linux-devkit to the path before building zImage. Could you comment that line out for me and see if the workaround works now?

Here's my script:

#! /bin/bash

# do NOT add linux-devkit to path
#export PATH=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin:$PATH

export ARCH=arm

# set CROSS_COMPILE to include the path to the toolchain
#export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
export CROSS_COMPILE=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

...

# make the kernel. zImage is default that uboot expects
make zImage

Nick

Hi,
Simple solution is to run "make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage" commad as sudo as below.

sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage

I cannot replicate your results.

# this code results in build errors 

$ export PATH=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin:$PATH
$ make distclean
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- tisdk_am335x-evm_defconfig
$ sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage

TI suggested workaround has been updated above to reflect feedback of the last couple posts: https://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/791/p/637451/2433985#2433985

Hi Nick,

I can confirm commenting out export PATH=.... resolves the issue.

Thanks for the help.

Hello Nick,
Sorry for late reply.

Below commands are working fine for kernel compilation for BeagleBone Black.

# this code results in build with out any error

$ export PATH=$HOME/ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin:$PATH
$ sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- distclean
$ sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- tisdk_am335x-evm_defconfig
$ sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage

Hello Sumitkumar,

Be careful if using sudo to compile the kernel - as a general rule, we don't compile the kernel using sudo commands. That said, the code you posted still results in build errors on my machine, so maybe it works in your environment but not on others. Readers are advised to use the TI suggested workaround:

This issue also affects Processor SDK 4.3. The answer at e2e.ti.com/.../2433985 has been updated accordingly.
