Linux/TMDSIDK574: How to install ssh on Arago with opkg or in another way?

Hi Kemal,

Thanks for your reply, it helped me !

One of my goal was to transfer a file from my PC to the board, and I manage to do it thanks to these 2 links about scp and dropbear :

- http://e2e.ti.com/support/processors/f/791/t/713238

- https://bluepenguinlist.com/2016/12/05/ssh-tutorial-dropbear-server-openssh-client-setup/

I read the threads you send me but is there a simpler example to build ?

I tried to build arago-base-tisdk-image (Source : https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors/f/791/p/646368/2374626#2374626 ) but I didn't know what to do with it after compiling. (And it was very long)

Can you tell me what to do if I have the .tar file of the software I want to build ?

Thanks in advance.

Mervin

Hello Mervin,

The simplest way is shown in this thread. You need to run MACHINE=am57xx-evm bitbake dropbear command in the final step. Please, also refer to this guide.

Best regards,
Kemal

Hello Kemal,

I tried to follow the tutorial with ffmpeg but I ended up having these error messages :

I also tried to do the general tutorial on TI website 'Building the SDK" with commands like --force -c compile or -c cleanstate but I didn't manage to build the software entirely...

Can you explain me what am I doing wrong please ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Mervin,

The config file you have initialized is not correct, you need to initialize the processor-sdk-05.02.00.10-config.txt for your board with 4.14.79-gbde58ab01e kernel version.

Best regards,
Kemal

Can you explain us what are we doing wrong please ?
In the README, there are 2 proposed solutions:
In the file "configs/processor-sdk/processor-sdk-05.02.00.10-config.txt" add the following instruction "DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " virtualization"" or the other instruction "SKIP_META_VIRT_SANITY_CHECK = 1"  .
We do not know which solution is the most appropriate? should we add it at the beginning in the middle or at the end of the file?

Thanks in advance.

Gérald.

Hello Gérald,

You can ignore these warnings since they are mainly informative. You can read the linked article in this post for more details.

Hi Kemal,

Thanks for the explanation, I managed to install ffmpeg correctly without error, and get the deploy-ipks directory. 

I got the following files :

The ones struck out are the ones that "successfully" installed :

but others needed different packages :

Since, the packages required are not on the directory, I tried to install libtheora with bitbake for instance :

But I got errors... so I don't know if I'm correctly trying to install the .ipk files on my board, or if the .ipk files are corrupted..

Can you guide with my issue please ?

Thanks in advance.

Mervin

Hello Mervin,

Please, download and extract the archive from this post to fix this issue.

Hello Mervin,

Were you able to resolve this issue?

Best regards,
Kemal

Hello Kemal,

I was on vacation during this time, so I did not try much.

But I did dowload and extract your file : git.ti.com.processor-sdk.processor-sdk-linux.git_and_git.ti.com.ti-linux-kernel.ti-linux-kernel.git.tar.xz.

And put it in <tisdk>/dowload/git2/ directory. But even after doing the following commands:

I was not able to install the ipk files with opkg on my board. Having the same issue as above with libtheora...

I probably did not extract the file properly. Inside the git2 directory, we find this:

And finally, this is what I got from the bitbake step:

We can see that I got the same ipk files before and after adding the git file in git2:

Should I put these four files directly in git2?

Also, does the downloads/git2 directory is created itself or should I continue to create it myself?

Can you explain me a bit more about this installation process, please?

Thanks for the support and your answers.

The same way that I installed dropbear, right?
