Linux/AM5706: About Package Installing on Linux PSDK v05.02.00.10

Part Number: AM5706

Tool/software: Linux

Hi Champs,

I' d like to install packages below on the Linux PSDK v05.02.00.10. Can I do that?
If so, could you please let me know what I should do when I install them?

  - alsa
  - freetype2
  - webkit2gtk-4.0
  - gtk+-x11-3.0
  - libcurl

Best regards,
J-breeze

  • Hello J-breeze,

    - alsa - yes
    - freetype2 - yes
    - webkit2gtk-4.0 - no
    - gtk+-x11-3.0 -no
    - libcurl - yes

    webkit2gtk-4.0 requires gtk, gtk requres x11, x11 requres SGX, but AM5706 has no SGX.

    Best regards,
    Kemal
  • Hi Kemal,

    Thank you for your prompt reply. I understand that Ican not install the webkit2gtk-4.0 and gtk+-x11-3.0.
    So, could you please let me know how to install alsa and freetype2 and libcurl?
    Dose TI have any related document that describe the install procedure?

    Best regards,
    J-breeze

  • The related document which describes the install procedure is this.

    In general, you need to execute these commands in your host computer.

    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
    (Select "No" when prompted)

    Close the current terminal where you have executed dpkg-reconfigure dash command and open a new one.

    $ sudo apt-get install git build-essential python diffstat texinfo gawk chrpath dos2unix wget unzip socat doxygen libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libz1:i386

    $ wget https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.2-2017.11/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-7.2.1-2017.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
    $ tar -Jxvf gcc-linaro-7.2.1-2017.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz -C $HOME

    Create or make 40GB SWAP partition as shown in this thread.

    $ git clone git://arago-project.org/git/projects/oe-layersetup.git tisdk
    $ cd tisdk
    $ ./oe-layertool-setup.sh -f configs/processor-sdk/processor-sdk-05.02.00.10-config.txt
    $ cd build
    $ . conf/setenv
    $ export TOOLCHAIN_PATH_ARMV7=$HOME/gcc-linaro-7.2.1-2017.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf
    $  MACHINE=am57xx-evm bitbake alsa-utils alsa-lib freetype curl

    When the build is completed transfer the .ipk files from <tisdk>/build/arago-tmp-external-linaro-toolchain/deploy/ipk/ to your board by using scp or copy them to SD card and install the .ipk later by using opkg command.

    opkg install [package_ipk].ipk
