Installer Details

Installers Name

AM62L Linux SDK Installer (Linux version)

ti-processor-sdk-linux-am62lxx-evm-<version>-Linux-x86-Install.bin

Use Linux installer for complete source package, tools, prebuilt-image, filesystems, etc for product development.

From a windows machine, you can only flash a SD card. This can be done without installing the SDK. Use balenaEtcher to flash SD card from windows machine.

The AM62L-Linux-SDK includes the ARM GCC toolchain. The AM62L-Linux-SDK was built and tested against a specific Linux Distribution name and version, Ubuntu 22.04. Note that this does not prevent the user from installing the SDK on other Linux distributions.

1.1.1.1. Download & Install the SDK Installer Inside a Container

TI provides a Ubuntu 22.04 based docker image with all the packages that are required to install the SDK Installer.

The Docker image is hosted on ghcr.io/texasinstruments.

Refer Steps to Run SDK Installer inside a Container for a comprehensive guide.

Note

Before starting the container, ensure that you have completed all the Pre-Requisites as mentioned here.

1.1.1.2. Download & Install the SDK Installer on Host

You can download the latest AM62L-Linux-SDK installer from the AM62L-SDK-Download-page.

Required Host Packages to Install the SDK Installer in Linux

Please run the following command to install all packages required to Install the SDK Installer on Ubuntu 22.04.

host# sudo apt-get install file fdisk dosfstools

How to Run the SDK Installer in Linux

Make sure that the execute permissions are set. Bring up a terminal window and change directories to where the installer is located (probably the Downloads directory) and run the following commands:

# For AM62L (am62lxx-evm) Installer
chmod +x ./ti-processor-sdk-linux-am62lxx-evm-<version>-Linux-x86-Install.bin
./ti-processor-sdk-linux-am62lxx-evm-<version>-Linux-x86-Install.bin

Alternatively, you can give execute permissions and run the SDK Installer by double clicking on it within your Linux host PC.

Note

As a part of the installation, the installer will run a script to configure your environment and extract the Linux devkit. This will cause the installation to continue for roughly a minute even after it shows that it has reached 100%.

Note

If nothing seems to happen, your computer may be running a 32-bit version of its operating system. The installer is 64-bit, and will not execute properly.

MCU+ SDK for RTOS/NO-RTOS

Note

AM62L Linux SDK contains only the Linux specific source and application intended to run on A53/Linux core. For A53 based FreeRTOS side source and applications, refer MCU+ SDK package [Use Link].
