RTOS/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM65X: Build error

Hope,

Welcome back on the forums. Hope you are doing well.

I unfortunately am not able to reproduce the issue at my end. Can you please indicate what component is the make building when the error occurs. Is it the SBL or diagnostic or some other component. Can you also confirm that you have Strawberry Perl installed on the machine. For creating boot images the bootloader if you remember uses OpenSSL which is not on the defualt windows install so it needs to be installed. If it is installed please check your environment using "set" and confirm that your PATH variable has Strawberry Perl included.

Also,  one guidance we provide to most customer is to not invoke gmake all for a platform. Processor SDK RTOS is already pre-built so driver, CSL and component libraries are already built but we remove the intermediate object files to reduce size of the package. you should only do targetted builds in the package using the following options.

The following steps can be used in a command shell to generate the CCS projects for PDK low level drivers. Users are expected to complete component discovery in CCS before using these steps.

Setup environment from root directory:

<SDK_INSTALL_PATH>\processor_sdk_rtos_am65xx_5_01_00_11

setupenv.bat

 

Optional step: SDK contains prebuilt binaries for driver and CSL libraries so there is no need to rebuild the libraries but if you need to rebuild the libraries, you can do it using gmake utility using the following options.

gmake <target>_clean

gmake <target>

 

<target>: Refer to makefile in the pdk_am65xx_x_x_x\packages

 

all csl board emac fvid2 gpio i2c mcasp mmcsd nimu pm profiling pruss sciclient spi uart udma usb sbl sa osal can be used as <target>

 

This can take a while to build. To limit the build to A53 core, use the additional arguments as

gmake <target> LIMIT_BOARDS=am65xx_evm LIMIT_CORES=mpu1_0 <ARGUMENTS>

 

ARGUMENTS	Options	Description
LIMIT_BOARDS	am65xx_evm, am65xx_idk	Supported evaluation platform
LIMIT_SOC	am65xx	Supported SOC options
LIMIT_CORES	mcu1_0, mpu1_0	Support for different cores
DISABLE_RECURSE_DEPS	yes, no	Disable for building dependencies
BUILD_PROFILE	release, debug	Build profile

 

Hope this helps :)

Hi Rahul

the error happens when build something about x509,
and it seems that x509 need OPENSSL？
I didn't install OPENSSL,
So I think this is the reason that the error occurred.
Do you also think so?

Hi,

yes, you need OpenSSL installed to be able to build large parts of the SDK, since the bootloader image (tiboot3.bin) for example is a "x509 certificate" that includes the bootloader code as a payload.

There are precompiled distributions of OpenSSL for Windows that are working just fine for us.

Judging from your console output you might be running into another issue - the processor SDK only supports Windows 10 as the host machine. Not sure if that's a problem in your case, but when we first tried building the SDK with Windows 7 the output looked suspiciously similar. The reason it failed for us even after installing OpenSSL was that the SDK scripts expect a more recent version of PowerShell.

We managed to get the SDK to build on Windows 7 by installing .NET Framework Version 4.5.2 and Windows Management Frameworks Version 5.1. Both are official Microsoft software packages.

Hi Dominic

Thanks for your reply.

Is there precompiled distributions of OpenSSL for Windows in TI's website, would you please tell me a link?

And just  as you said, my host machine is windows7.

I'll install .NET Framework Version 4.5.2 and Windows Management Frameworks Version 5.1.

Then I will try again

Hi,
I don't think OpenSSL is available from TI. You could just search for it on the Internet. We're using a download available from heise.de (german computer magazines c't and iX, rather well known here and I'm guessing one of the "good guys"): www.heise.de/.../download
TI recommends installing Strawberry Perl: software-dl.ti.com/.../index_overview.html
You should consider for yourself where you get binary software from.

Hi, Dominic
Thanks for your reply. I have known that,
I will installed it and try again.
