EZSDK C6A8168

Hello,

 

I am a beginner in developing with Texas Instrument DSP. I work on a project with the Integra C6A8168 device. I will receive the EVM in a few weeks. Till then, I would like to take the development's softwares in hand.

I have downloaded the EZSDK on the EZSDK download page (http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/ezsdk/latest/index_FDS.html) and I have followed all the steps described. I have installed CodeSourcery GCC (step 4). Then I have done my best to install the EZSDK (step 5). First, it seems that the installation does not proceed as described : I have to compile "opkg" and "fakeroot". What are these ? Finally, it just creates a folder 'install-tools' with 4 folders 'bin', 'include', 'lib' and 'share'... I was expected a software. Was I wrong ? Moreover, it is written on the EZSDK download page, that the Software Development Guide will open or can be found in the doc folder. I can't find it... What do I make wrong ?

Which software are necessary to develop for C6A8168 ? The EZSDK. Code Composer Studio. Is that all ?

Maybe I can not install anything without having the EVM ?

 

Thank you,

Regards,

    JS,

    You are correct that the installer has not worked. The EZSDK contains all the software you need to develop with.

    The installer will check for the linux tools/configurations that are required for the install/build.

    The two I had to add for my Ubuntu 10.04LTS install BEFORE you run ezsdk installer were:

    - download and install fakeroot.

    $sudo apt-get install fakeroot

    - configure shell

    $sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

    Answer no to question

     

    Once this is done install the code sourcery tools and run the ezsdk installer.

    Iain Hunter,

     

    Thank you for your answer. By following the instructions of the 'Getting Started Guide' of Code Sourcery G++ (http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release858), I did the same operation before installing code sourcery and the ezsdk. However, I coul not execute the .bin for installing code sourcery :

    "The included VM could not be extracted. Please try to download the installer again and make sure that you download using 'binary' mode. Please do not attempt to install this currently downloaded copy"

    And there is the same error message with your method. So I used the download archive (http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release858). Maybe is it why it does not work ?

    You can check the correctness of your download (either of ezsdk or codesourcery by using md5sum command on the .bin files. The output should match that given on the download pages.

    $ md5sum arm-2009q1-203-arm-none-linux-gnueabi.bin

    which should respond with

    c8833da1cde15cb77e76635139256fb2 arm-2009q1-203-arm-none-linux-gnueabi.bin

    Ok Iain. You was right. My 'arm-2009q1-203-arm-none-linux-gnueabi.bin' was corrupted. I downloaded it again and installed CodeSourcery successfully.

    Concerning the ezsdk installer, the window was totally bugged : it seemed that the installation was over (I had to enter a message but I could not enter anything and could just press the 'cancel' button...) whereas the installation was effectively running. Maybe because of the parameters of my ubuntu (French language or others...?).

    Anyway. Thank you for answering so quickly.

    JS,

    I think it will be your French language version of Ubuntu - I spoke to someone last week who had problems with German version. He could only get it to work with English/American version of Ubuntu.

    I found it out that the downloading has sth. do with the browser. Chrome didn't work right, but firefox did.
