Linux/AM5728: Processor SDK setup

Part Number: AM5728
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BEAGLEBOARD-X15

Tool/software: Linux

Hello,

I try to follow the steps to run the setup script according to:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Processor_SDK_Linux_Setup_Script

I have already installed the PSDK however, it shows:

System requires packages xinetd tftpd minicom libncurses5-dev screen lrzsz uboot-mkimage to be installed
Installation requires you to have administrator priviliges (sudo access)
on your host. Do you have administrator privilieges?
Type 'y' to continue or 'n' to exit the installation: y
Performing sudo apt-get install xinetd tftpd minicom libncurses5-dev screen lrzsz uboot-mkimage
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package uboot-mkimage is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
u-boot-tools:i386 u-boot-tools

E: Package 'uboot-mkimage' has no installation candidate
Failed setup, aborting..
Failed setup, aborting..

What should I do to handle it?

  • I search the problem and find the solution in
    e2e.ti.com/.../542251
    However, when I continue another problem shows up
    Since I tried the second time for tftp setting, it asked for overwrite or other options.
    As you can see, there is an error.

    /tftpboot/zImage-am57xx-evm.bin already exists. The existing installed file can be renamed and saved under the new name.
    (r) rename (o) overwrite (s) skip copy
    [r] o

    How can I fix it? Or should instal ubuntu 14, now I am using ubuntu 16.
  • Hello Zibin,

    Ubuntu 16 is okay, you do not want to install Ubuntu 14. You just need to run <Processor SDK>/setup.sh which invokes the <Processor SDK>/bin/setup-tftp.sh automatically, you do not want to run <Processor SDK>/bin/setup-tftp.sh directly.

    Best regards,
    Kemal
  • Thanks, although I installed the Ubuntu 14 and no problems for running the setup.sh.
