Hello,
Just received my TMDEXVM3730 kit, and am having trouble with the setup.sh script. I am trying to follow the instructions in the TMS320DM3730 Software Developers Guide".
I am running Windows XP Pro on an HP laptop, and using VMPlayer to provide my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS environment.
I ran through the Quick Start Guide and everything works fine until Step 16 (last step). This step says to run setup.htm. I get all the way through to Step 8 without any warnings or errors or issues. This step says to follow the Software Developers Guide, which I began....
I have several questions/problems in the Software Developers Guide, starting at "Setting Up the DVSDK":
1. The guide says to run setup.sh. This script implies heavily that the host pc and therefore the ubuntu vm use static IP addressing. In my environment, dhcp is used. A custom script "setup_uimage-tftp_fs-nfs.minicom" gets generated, and the IP addresses get hard-coded in the script. Since my vm gets a different ip address every time, specifying a static IP in the script makes non sense. Suggestions? I accepted the current IP so I could keep going.
2. Must you run this setup.sh script every time, or just once?
3. The last step (Step 16) in the Quick Start Guide says to remove the Linux SDK SD card then plug it into the host PC and run setup. Afterwards, are you suppose to plug the SD card back into the evm board? Or do you need to leave it connected to the host PC? Or store it away? I left it attached to the host.
4. Do you run the setup.sh script for EACH USER? Does the user need to be root? I tried a normal user that has sudo privleges, but files and directories are created that are owned by root and not writable by the normal user.
5. I ran everything as a normal user, and setup.sh eventually asks me if I want to run the minicom script. Doing so does bring up minicom, then I plug in the evm board, and the red light on the cpu board goes red, but the WLAN light and BT light on the daughter board stay dark and there is no ethernet activity on the switch.... minicom just hangs there forever. There are no errors reported in /var/log/messages. I checked permissions on the serial port and succesfully connected to another laptop on the same port.
Hitting keys or "CTRL-A Z" has no affect. I have verified I have the correct serial port and that it works.
6. I noticed during the script that it sets up tftp and configures it. If I search for the running process 'tftp' using the command 'ps auxww|grep -i ftp' it shows nothing so named.
Is this a problem?
The end result is that I have minicom just sitting there, and no instructions on how to proceed or how to troubleshoot or validate that everything went correctly.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
