AM4376: Processor SDK build issue

Part Number: AM4376

Hi Sir

we used AM4376 for development and followed below wiki to do image building.

    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_Building_The_SDK

we execute command "MACHINE=am437x-evm bitbake arago-base-tisdk-image" to build the image and found the speed is slow  

   linux-ti-staging-4.9.41+gitAUTOINC+e3a80a1c5c-r3c.arago5.tisdk9 do_fetch (pid 16328)  25% || 39.00 KiB/s

Q1: does Ti have any suggestion to improve the download speed (in china)

Q2 can we pre-download the source code and then integrate into tisdk folder ? if yes, can TI offer the document

BR

  • Hi,

    You can download the complete SDK from here: www.ti.com/.../PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X
  • Hi Sir

    that is not a right answer.
    1. could you tell us how to integrate complete sdk into arago-base-tisdk-image folder ? and modify bitbake configuration
    2.does Ti have any suggestion to improve the download speed (in china)
    3.can we pre-download the source code and then integrate into tisdk folder ? if yes, can TI offer the document

    This question is out of the scope of this forum. This forum supports only technical questions related to silicon, hardware, Linux, Android, and TI-RTOS for the Sitara Processors.

    Your other questions have been forwarded to the software team. They will respond here.

  • Hello Yimin,

    You can pre-download the source code and then integrate into tisdk folder by following this document.

    $ # Assuming src file downloaded to $HOME/Downloads
    $ tar xvf $HOME/Downloads/<target-board>-linux-sdk-arago-src-##.##.##.##.tar.xz
    $ <target-board>-linux-sdk-arago-src-##.##.##.##/get_build_sources.sh <target-board>-linux-sdk-arago-src-##.##.##.##/source_pkg_list.txt

    Best regards,
    Kemal

  • Click on that link and download them through your WEB browser. Place them to <tisdk>/downloads/ directory and do not forget to create a <filename>.done file next to them.

  • Hi Sir

    thanks for your great support

    we have built out basic Yocto file system successfully.

    After check this file system, we did not find python3 support.

    Maybe build full Yocto file system will get python3 support, but we don’t want to do that, since full Yocto is very big.

    Please give us some suggestion that we can simply add python3 support into basic Yocto file system.

  • See <tisdk>/sources/oe-core/meta/conf/documentation.conf

    CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL[doc] = "Specifies the list of packages to be added to the image. You should only set this variable in the conf/local.conf file in the Build Directory."

    $ echo 'CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += " python3"' >> conf/local.conf

    or

    MACHINE=am437x-evm bitbake python3

    and install the generated python3 ipks and its dependencies to your board with opkg.
