Linux/MMWAVE-SDK: cannot install mmWave-SDK in Linux

Luciano Kruk

Part Number: MMWAVE-SDK

Tool/software: Linux

Dear All,

I tried to install the mmWave-SDK for Linux w/o success. My steps are:

1) download the file mmwave_sdk_03_01_00_02-Linux-x86-Install.bin

2) chmod +x mmwave_sdk_03_01_00_02-Linux-x86-Install.bin

3) ./mmwave_sdk_03_01_00_02-Linux-x86-Install.bin

after the <ENTER>, waited half a second and the cursor came back, ready for the next command.

4) sudo ./mmwave_sdk_03_01_00_02-Linux-x86-Install.bin

same result.

5) ./mmwave_sdk_03_01_00_02-Linux-x86-Install.bin -h/--help/--version.....

I am using Linux Mint, Cinammon 19.

Any hints?

Thanks in advance,

Luciano

    Hello,

    Can you please confirm you have the executable permission on downloaded .bin file.

    Expectation is for an installation gui to come up as soon as you execute the .bin file, please let us know.

    Thank you,

    Vaibhav

    Hi,

    Yes, I confirm I do have permission. As I said, I chmoded with +x and tried to install it as regular user and superuser. What are the dependencies? Any special library, package, etc to install?

    Thanks in advance,

    Luciano

    Hi Luciano,

    As mentioned in the MMWAVE SDK release notes, the Linux installer (mmwave_sdk_<version>-Linux-x86-Install.bin) is verified on Ubuntu 14.04 & Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit machines. We have not tested it on other flavors of Linux so recommend using one of the Linux distributions mentioned in the SDK release notes.

    Thanks

    Hi Luciano,

    I noticed that you rejected the above answer but didn't provide a reason. Could you please clarify if you're looking for more information? As indicated, the MMWAVE-SDK installer is tested with specific Ubuntu Linux releases mentioned in the SDK release notes so we cannot guarantee that it will work with Linux Mint that you're using.

    Thanks

    -Nitin

    Dear Nitin,

    Sorry for the long delay. I rejected the answer because it does not solve my problem. It does not mean your answer is wrong; it means I still have the same problem and conditions as stated in the question. If you like, you can now add to the Releases that it does not work at Mint for an unknown reason (Debian as well, as I tested there before migrating to Mint). It was my fault: I did not read the Releases before buying the kit.

    BR,

    Luciano

    Dear All,

    I want to mention that I have already install the mmWave in these distros, always with NO SUCESS, and no idea about the problem, since the application gives no outputs.

    1) Mint 19

    2) Debian 9

    3) Ubuntu 18.10

    4) Ubuntu 16.04 (referred in the Release Notes)

    I have doubts if the package works at all!

    What is your experience? What are the dependencies? What can fail?

    Thanks in advance,

    Luciano

    Hi Luciano,

    The installer should work on the Linux distros mentioned in the release notes i.e Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. We are looking into this issue and will provide an update asap.

    Thanks

    Hi Luciano,

    We've reproduced and root caused the problem. The issue is that the MMWAVE-SDK linux installer is a 32-bit installer so it needs an additional package to be installed on 64-bit Linux installation to allow running a 32-bit installer in a 64-bit environment. Please run the following command to install the required dependency on a 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Linux machine:

    $sudo apt-get install libc6:i386

    We have verified that the installer works successfully on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit machine after installing the above package. We've also taken an action to add this information to the SDK release notes. Thanks for reporting the issue.

    Please mark this thread resolved if the above resolves the issue.

    Thanks

    -Nitin

    Dear Nitin,

    I can confirm that something was installed, but not as described. Please refer to the attachment, and this issue:

    --The installation does not have a GUI, as shown in chapter 5-installation instruction of the Release Notes.

    Maybe there are still some further steps, PATH correction, ldconfig, other dependencies.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Luciano,

    Thanks for your patience. We looked into this issue and found that the SDK installer (which is a 32-bit package) defaulted to text mode installation on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit due to missing 32-bit versions of libgtk and libxtst. Please note  that the SDK was still being installed correctly, though the GUI didn't show.

    To resolve this, the following additional packages need to be installed on Ubuntu 16.04 for the installer to work correctly in GUI mode:

    libgtk2.0-0:i386 and libxtst6:i386

    The complete list of packages required for the installer to work on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit is summarized in the following command:

    $ sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libxtst6:i386


    We will update this information in the SDK release notes. Thanks for bringing this issue to our notice. Please mark this thread resolved if this fixes the issue on your system.

    Regards

    -Nitin
