PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X: Linux customization

Arun Cherian

I have a custom board based on the AM437x with peripherals for my applications needs. Are there any instructions on how to build a Linux image for it? My assumption is I can use the default LInux SDK or Yocto with TI layers and supplied root file systems with a device tree that matches my HW config. Any links/pointers would help.Thanks!

Your assumption is correct. You will need to develop a device tree that matches your hardware. TI provides several device trees as examples for the different boards that we support. Any device tree documentation available in the kernel and from sources should apply in general.

I would recommend getting the TI kernel booting on your board with the TI root filesystems provided. They customize further from there as needed.

You might find this training helpful as well:
