TDA2PXEVM: Compile and deploy

Annie Liu

Part Number: TDA2PXEVM

Hi Team,

Customer uses TDA2Px development board, TF card is 32G. The computer system is ubuntu16.04. He downloaded the PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_08_00_00_setuplinux.bin SDK and successfully installed on ubuntu.

He wants to know how to build a compilation environment?

The compilation environment is set up as follows:

1) Download & install the vision SDK 3.8 . done!

2) Install package required for the build (chapter 2.2.3 Other mandatory software packages for build). done!

3) Do the below changes in the vision_sdk/build/Rules.make

MAKECONFIG?=tda2px_evm_linux_all

4) Follow the instruction provided in the user-guide for GIT configuration set-up (chapter 2.4.1 One time PC set up).

5) cd vision_sdk/build/

6) Run the below script from the build directory, this will clone kernel, u-boot, etc.

./hlos/scripts/linux/setup_linux.sh.

This refers to 2.4.2.1, do I need to go through 2.4.2.1.1~2.4.2.1.3

7)Follow the instruction provided in the user-guide for target file system set-up(chapter 2.4.2.1.4 Download and untar file system)

8)Follow the instruction provided in the user-guide for A15 compiler set-up (chapter 2.2.1 A15 Compiler, Linker)

9) make linux

10) make linux_install

11) make -s -j depend

12) make -s -j

Is this ok?

He followed all the operations of 2.2 and 2.4 in the document (v03.08.00) Linux User Guide, and the compilation passed. How to use blank TF card to make TD2Px boot TF card?

Thanks.

Hi,

TF card means SD card right?

After the completion of build process, you need to prepare the SD card to boot the EVM board.

Insert the SD card to host machine & create FAT32 & ext4 partion then copy all the required files to boot.

cd ~/PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_07_00_00/ti_components/os_tools/linux/targetfs/ 
tar cvf tisdk-rootfs-image-dra7xx-evm.tar.xz ./* 
mv tisdk-rootfs-image-dra7xx-evm.tar.xz ~/PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_07_00_00/vision_sdk/binaries/apps/tda2xx_evm_linux_all/hlos/linux/boot/ 
cd ~/PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_07_00_00/vision_sdk/build/ 
sudo ./hlos/scripts/linux/mksdboot.sh --device /dev/<parent_device_name> --appname <MAKEAPPNAME> --makeconfig <MAKECONFIG> 
# ex: sudo ./hlos/scripts/linux/mksdboot.sh --device /dev/sdc --appname apps --makeconfig tda2xx_evm_linu

Thanks

Hi Gaviraju,

Thanks for your response.

Yes, TF card means SD card. app name is apps. make config is tda2px_evm_linux_all. The sd card has been successfully made and can be accessed to the tda2x board through the serial port. Customer would like to know:

Question 1: The third step in document 3.1: 3. Select the Lens Module used for the camera. The three files LENS_imi.BIN, CALMAT.bin and CHARTPOS_RUBICON.BIN need to be copied to sd. What directory is copied to SD?

Question 2: The customer connected a front-view camera and ran its own test case to display the avatar output by the camera. What should he do (use that test case number)? Can he connect an HDMI monitor to the HDMI port of the tda2x board to display images or pictures? Currently, he does not have a dedicated LCD screen (only an external 27-inch HD monitor for notebooks)

Thanks,

Annie

Hi Gaviraju,

He uses the sdk compiled by himself to make an sd card. HDMI out connects to an external monitor.

Go to the /opt/vision_sdk directory and run "1: 1CH VIP capture + SGX Copy + DISPLAY" of "Vision SDK Usecases" of "1 Single Camera Usecases". The hdmi display is full-screen green. The last line of the command execution also reported an error.

Attach the log of starting and running apps.out： 56804.logs.txt

Thanks,

Annie
