Linux/AM3358: TI Linux SDK installing packages

Part Number: AM3358

Tool/software: Linux

Hi,

I have question regarding installation of packages with Linux am335x-evm 4.14.79. This kernel comes by default opkg packaging tool. In order to install new package I am trying to follow the steps mentioned in:

- e2e.ti.com/.../666632

- http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Processor_SDK_Building_The_SDK#Installing_Package

In particular I need to install gcc compiler on my BBB (trying to compile: gcc rpmsg_pru_user_space_echo.c -o rpmsg_pru_user_space_echo.out from "Hands on Lab"). My question is: how do I specify the package in this step: MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake <?package?> ?

If I try: MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake gcc, I get error:

- ImportError: cannot import name 'spawn'

Thank you in advance.

Hello Lukasz,

Run this command to fix the import 'spawn' issue.

$ sudo apt-get install python3-distutils

To build a Linux am335x-evm 4.14.79, you need to execute these new commands from this post, you just need to run MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake gcc command in the last step.

Best regards,
Kemal

Hi Kemal,

I managed to run it successfully after your comment. Thank you.
Now I can copy the folder with IPKs to any directory on my EVM and run the opkg to install, yes?

Thanks a lot.
