Linux/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X: Unable to install ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-05.02.00.10-Linux-x86-Install.bin on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X

Tool/software: Linux

Hi!

I have tried to install the processor-SDK firmware, with no success.

During the installation process, the installer jumps instantly to:

Unpacking opt/ti-pro[...]0/processor-sdk-linux-image-am335x-evm.tar.xz
and freezes. Am I lacking any tools for the installation process?
  • Hello Jonas,

    Our expert in this category is out of office at the moment. Support will be limited until he returns.

    You do not need any special tools to install the SDK. Place the .bin file somewhere on your computer, chmod +x to make it executable, and then ./ti-processor-sdk-...-install.bin

    Do note that the installation percentage given either onscreen or in the terminal does not give you an accurate representation of where in the installation process the installer is. I just tested SDK 5.2 in a Linux 18.04 system, and the entire time it was installing the screen said it was about 70% done and unpacking a different tar.xz file. However, it did eventually finish installation.

    Regards,
    Nick
