PROCESSOR-SDK-DRA8X-TDA4X: PROCESSOR-SDK-DRA8X-TDA4X: Make fails after including steps to rebuild IPC v2

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-DRA8X-TDA4X

Hello, we are analyzing Processor SDK Linux Automotive with goal of using it for software development for TDA4 SoC based platform.

My previous thread regarding this issue was locked without any solution or answer so i am giving it another try.

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-DRA8X-TDA4X Hello, we are analyzing Processor SDK Linux Automotive with goal of using it for software development for TDA4 SoC based

In summary:

We followed up the Software Developer’s Guide for rebuilding whole SDK and after invoking make it tells us:

If you wish to build IPC, please install

Processor SDK RTOS for j7-evm

and set TI_RTOS_PATH in Rules.make

After adding TI_RTOS_PATH in Rules.make, build fails at start because it cannot find additional Rules.make inside psdk_rtos_auto_j7_06_02_00_21/processor_sdk_rtos_j7_ directory.

I changed the TI_RTOS_PATH:

export TI_RTOS_PATH=/home/<USER>/psdk_rtos_auto_j7_06_02_00_21

And get this error:

Makefile:279: /home/<USER>/psdk_rtos_auto_j7_06_02_00_21/processor_sdk_rtos_j7_/Rules.make: No such file or directory

I checked everything, and re-dowlnoaded RTOS SDK, but psdk_rtos_auto_j7_06_02_00_21 does not contain processor_sdk_rtos_j7_ directory.

Can you help us out?

Regards.

Hi Uros,

Apologies for the delay - will check on this and get back with you shortly.

Hello again Uros,

It looks like there is an incomplete path based on the error.

Makefile:279: /home/<USER>/psdk_rtos_auto_j7_06_02_00_21/processor_sdk_rtos_j7_

As you've correctly pointed out, there is no directory called processor_sdk_rtos_j7_.

Let's start by confirming the basics. First, have you setup the PSDKRA and PSDSKLA using these two links:

http://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-rtos-jacinto7/latest/exports/docs/vision_apps/docs/user_guide/ENVIRONMENT_SETUP.html

http://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-linux-jacinto7/latest/exports/docs/linux/Overview_Getting_Started_Guide.html

Then, for building the PDK (that includes the IPC library), are you following this link (through section 1.1.6):

http://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-rtos-jacinto7/latest/exports/docs/pdk/docs/user_guide/html/user_guide_mainpage.html#ug_build_pdk

If you can help me out, please let me know what guide(s) you've been following if it deviates from the steps above. I have not yet gone through the steps myself on this most recent release, but have on the previous release. You really must follow every step, at least the first time (within reason - if proxy servers or PC emulation do not apply, you can skip those steps).

Let me know what step you're getting stuck, and we will work together to fix it.

Regards,
Mike

Hi Michael,

Yes we have setup the PSDKRA and PSDSKLA using these two links:
http://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-rtos-jacinto7/latest/exports/docs/vision_apps/docs/user_guide/ENVIRONMENT_SETUP.html

https://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-linux-jacinto7/latest/exports/docs/linux/Overview_Getting_Started_Guide.html

We are able to build both systems and boot them, that is working. We followed instructions from PSDKLA Developers Guide section 1.1.5 to build Linux from PSDKLA, and Build vision apps without prebuilt libraries step from Vission apps User Guide to build RTOS from PSDKRA.

Next we wanted to look in the build, and see each component being build on PSDKLA and we noticed that build for IPC is being skipped.
We followed the instructions to set TI_RTOS_PATH and got the error i noted.

Regarding Building the PDK, we understood that every component in PSDKRA, including PDK, will be build following build steps from Build vision apps without prebuilt libraries. So we did not look deeper in PDK, or any other component outside Vission Apps.

Regards.
Uros
