AM5729: TI SDK build fail - unable to link dpkg-deb to busybox

Hello,

Are you building w/ Debian or Ubuntu on your host? Not only what I did works, it still works. I am attempting to push some other builds to the BBAI/am5729 tonight. I have nano, dpkg-dev, and some other packages I am building w/ the Linux SDK again. Once I hone in on exactly the commands to perform what I did the first time, I will update here to let you know.

Seth

P.S. The reason I am asking is b/c under a Debian Host, one would need to change up some of the files. I built it on Debian just fine but could not get the dpkg-dev or apt installs completed. So, I will keep trying. If you are building the entire Linux SDK for the BBAI or am5729 in general, I can probably get you to push it to the board but I cannot help w/ Ubuntu, i.e. as I have built the Linux SDK on the Debian host.

Hi,

I'm currently building on a Ubuntu 18.04 host.

I was able to install the package management but later on in the build when it starts "arago-base-tisdk-image-1.0-r0:do_rootfs" it fails to link dpkg-deb to busybox.

Best Regards

Hello,

Yes...I thought I could figure it out tonight. I was wrong. I got Arago Project loaded but the install of my other packages were not listed when I started up the machine.

...

I will keep trying it out. I got the Matrix app loaded but I do not currently have a live feed via HDMI LCD to use, i.e. so I do not think I am going to be able to view and use the Matrix application for now.

I found a page online for how to install packages and then port them to the board or am5729 SoC.

Seth

P.S. I will update you soon. https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/docs/06_03_00_106/linux/Overview/GCC_ToolChain.html#gcc-toolchain

That site will bring you to how to use -pthread and autotools. I think if you are building your own c or whatever language types of builds you have, the -pthread is the choice but if you are using a large lib/module...I would say use autotools. Currently, I have not found out how even though it is listed on that page I referenced.

Update:

Removing busybox%.append seemed to fix the last issue but unknown what problems it has caused being removed.

But now a new error has occurred that has halted the build.

Hello,

This is the local.conf file I found in the /tisdk/source/oe-core/build/conf/ dir. See the last line that is not commented. Well, it needs to be as I have it listed and not as "package_ipk" which is the default.

#
# Package Management configuration
#
# This variable lists which packaging formats to enable. Multiple package backends
# can be enabled at once and the first item listed in the variable will be used
# to generate the root filesystems.
# Options are:
# - 'package_deb' for debian style deb files
# - 'package_ipk' for ipk files are used by opkg (a debian style embedded package manager)
# - 'package_rpm' for rpm style packages
# E.g.: PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm package_deb package_ipk"
# We default to ipk:
PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_deb"

This file may give you clues.

Hello Sir,

I am building Poky now w/ bitbake beagle-yocto as the machine in question. I will update you soon on this issue if I can find out how to build the deb package management system.

Seth

Hi,

The conf was already changed.

"package_deb", "package_ipk package_deb" and "package_rpm" result in a show stopper.

It seems only "package_ipk" will complete the build and most of the extra packages seem to work.

Hello...okay. Phew. I hope it works out and thank you for sharing.

...

I was always wondering why I could not get that specific package_deb to work. I am sure there is a trick or two to know. I do not, sadly, have this trick right now.

Seth

P.S. If one day I come across the correct documentation, I will return service. 

Hi,

Did you manage to get poky to work? I tried the poky-master-config and was able to build with package management but was unable to fully boot.

Best Regards

Hello Mr. Jonathan,

Seth here. No...I have not been able to make it work. Supposedly, there are specific patches needed. Anyway, I will keep working on it. I have a BBAI w/ a am5729 on it. I got Arago to boot w/ the predefined kernel and image but not on my own yet.

...

I will attempt it soon again and again. I will update you once I get it to work properly.

Seth

P.S. Also, bootlin people have a lot of tutorials on this idea but I have not been able to get their ideas to work either so far. So, in hindsight, I should have read over the different meta-_____ files to see what was available before taking on this task. Also, buildroot has a long documentation excerpt. I should read that more and more too.
