Error on first compile, cannot locate arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc

David Bennett
Prodigy 110 points

My first compile of uImage is going poorly. I have downloaded ti-sdk-am335x-evm-07.00.00.00.00-Linux-x86-Install" from software-dl-ti-com/sitara_linux/esd/AM335xSDK/latest/index_FDS.html" and successfully installed. The prebuilt images run fine on the BBB. I am following the very simple steps here to build uImage: "processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Linux_Kernel_Users_Guide"

The error is this: "make: arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc: Command not found". This prevents running the final "make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- uImage" from succeeding as well.

Oddly, $PATH appears correct - yet the gcc compiler cannot be found.

Perhaps I am making a very simple, fundamental mistake? Thanks for the help!

David

    Hi David,

    Verify that the arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc file can be found by issuing the following command:

    which arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc

    If this is found and there is still an error while making the uImage, please try to pass the full path to the cross-compiler toolchain to the CROSS_COMPILE= argument. Example:

    CROSS_COMPILE=/home/david/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-07.00.00.00/linux-devkit/sysroots/i686-arago-linux/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

    Best regards,
    Miroslav

    Apologies - I jumped the gun. I'm afraid the problems persist:

    //And I'm afraid that I still get a failure.

    Note that I've completely reinstalled the SDK, and attempted many other fixes. May I trouble you for a second look at this?

    Thanks!

    This looks like as if your Makefile doesn't receive any value for the CROSS_COMPILE variable.

    This is a bit of a hack, but open the Makefile, locate where the CROSS_COMPILE variable is set and overwrite it with your value.

    Best regards,
    Miroslav

    Try this way:

    export PATH=/opt/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-07.00.00.00/linux-devkit/sysroots/i686-arago-linux/usr/bin:$PATH

    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- mrproper

    I had exactly the same ‘arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc command not found’ issue, I remove the 'sudo' when commit the make command, then problem fixed, hope this would help you.

    I think I may have been doing several things wrong with permissions. Let me provide the steps that worked. The key for me was that all of these steps should be done WITHOUT sudo privileges.


    1. Download sdk from here: http://www.ti.com/tool/linuxezsdk-sitara

    2. Navigate to ~/Downloads and chmod +x the installer

    3. ./ the installer

    4.Run setup.sh if desired

    5. export PATH=<sdk path>/linux-devkit/sysroots/i686-arago-linux/usr/bin:$PATH

    6. run the make commands as detailed here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Linux_Kernel_Users_Guide

    No SUDOs allowed!

    Thanks to all for your help!

    Dave
