1.1.1. Download and Install the SDKΒΆ
The Processor SDK Linux AM62x Installer will install the necessary components to start Linux development on the TI microprocessor.
The Processor SDK Linux AM62x Release supports installer only for Linux machine.
Installer Details |
Installers Name |
PSDK Linux AM62x Installer (Linux version) |
ti-processor-sdk-linux-am62xx-evm-<version>-Linux-x86-Install.bin |
PSDK Linux AM62SIP Installer (Linux version) |
ti-processor-sdk-linux-am62xxsip-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 Processor SDK Linux AM62x includes the ARM GCC toolchain. The Processor SDK Linux AM62x 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.
Downloading the SDK installer
You can download the latest Processor SDK Linux AM62x installer from the AM62x-SDK-Download-page.
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 AM62x (am62xx-evm and am62xx-lp-evm) Installer
chmod +x ./ti-processor-sdk-linux-am62xx-evm-<version>-Linux-x86-Install.bin
./ti-processor-sdk-linux-am62xx-evm-<version>-Linux-x86-Install.bin
# For AM62SIP (am62xxsip-evm) Installer
chmod +x ./ti-processor-sdk-linux-am62xxsip-evm-<version>-Linux-x86-Install.bin
./ti-processor-sdk-linux-am62xxsip-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.
