Help With the PSP kernel

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530

Hello,

I am having sbc8100 board which uses the OMAP 3530 arch.. The Linux kernel that came with the board had 2.6.29 version of the kernel.My main motive was to build QT for this board using the graphics SDK provided by your site.

Compiling the Graphics SDK required me to download the latest PSP from the site,which I did.Now after fixing all the issues in the compilation I am able to cross compile it.Now comes the part in which I would have to put the execs on the board and try to run the examples and the demos..MY question is what changes are reqd for the kernel as the version on the board is 2.6.29 and the PSP contained 2.6.32

Are there any more changes expected ?

 

Thanks,

Anand

    Anand,

    I think for this you need to work with the vendor of your board. The TI PSP is only tested against the EVM hardware in most cases. So if the board deviates from that then there might be changes to the kernel (this could be just configuration, more drivers or patches). Usually it is straight forward to move to the next kernel release if you have all the information required - and in most cases this is the board vendor. It might be they have a release based on our newest PSP in the works...

    Regards.

    Thanks a Lot Frank.....

    Do we have a SDK version which is compatible with linux version 2.6.29.If that is the case then where can I get the PSP and the SDK for this version from TI's site.I tried seacrhing for any repository but couldn't find one.

    You can download all the older releases from our web I believe... it might take a few clicks though.

    I started with looking at the current OMAP3530 DVSDK download page. This has a link at the bottom for "Legacy software". From there go to PSP and finally OMAP35x Software support. The 2.01.01.08 PSP is listed as based on 2.6.29-rc3 kernel. Now I don't know if there is still a matching graphics package for the SGX for download. For sure this does not include Qt support out of the box as this was only recently added. But still you can build you own Qt libs for this kernel (maybe without SGX/OpenGL support).

    The cleaner solution would be to ask for a board support package update from your vendor.

    Regards.
