hi
  I install the following files (source:spruf73-evmuserguide.pdf):
mvl_4_0_1_demo_sys_setuplinux.bin
❏ mvl_4_0_1_demo_target_setuplinux.bin
❏ lsp_DM355_setuplinux_#_##_##_##.bin
❏ dvsdk_DM355_setuplinux_#_##_##_##.bin
❏ xdc_setuplinux_#_##_##_##.bin
question:

    All you need is the files mentioned in the Getting Started Guide (it appears you got all of them).

    Juan is correct, the demo Monta Vista distribution is within the files you are installing, particularly the files that start with mvl.

    The main piece of software that the EVM does not include is the Monta Vista Dev Rocket IDE, which would be included in a full Monta Vista distribution, however you can do most development without it, the Dev Rocket just makes things easier.

    Hi,

    I'm new to Ubuntu Linux and currently running Ubuntu 9.10.

    I follow the instruction inside the spruf73a. Set the DISPLAY environment first, then I proceed to execute the above files, but on the first command: "sudo ./mvl_4_0_1_demo_sys_setuplinux.bin", it gave me this error: This program must be run in a graphical environment, or you must specify a silent or console install.
    Usage: mvl_4_0_1_demo_sys_setuplinux.bin ?options ...?

    Please advise if i missed out any command.

    Thank you.

    I use Ubuntu 9.10 and setting the DISPLAY environment variable was never necessary (this may have been needed for some old Red Hat distribution), I would try opening a new terminal window and running the command without setting the DISPLAY variable.

    Note that MVL 4.0.1 is a bit of an older install, if you are just getting started you may want to use one of the current DVSDK versions from http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/dvsdk/index.html.

    EDIT: You may also try using gksudo instead of sudo, as it is more technically correct for running a graphical app with root privelages in Ubuntu.
