Ticket Name: Linux/TDA2EVM5777: Install Packages in VisionSDK Linux

Query Text:
Part Number: TDA2EVM5777 Tool/software: Linux Helllo, I am running PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_03_00_00 Linux on TDA2x and I need to install packages like minicom or nano. Is it possible to install packages into the rootfs in the compile environment? What is the correct way to install packages into VisionSDK Linux? I attempted two different methods to install packages and was unsuccessful in both methods. Method 1: I attempted to use opkg, but when I try to use the command opkg update the command gives me wget errors: root@dra7xx-evm:~# opkg update Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Downloading lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz. wget: bad address 'lcpd.gt.design.ti.com' Collected errors: * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. * opkg_download_backend: Failed to download lcpd.gt.design.ti.com/.../Packages.gz, wget returned 1. root@dra7xx-evm:~# Method 2: When I attempt to cross compile the packages on my development computer by downloading them and using ./configure && make, I would get errors where I would need to install something like coreutils, and when I attempt to install that, I would get lower level errors. Thank you, -iFer

Responses:
Hi iFer, Regarding the Method 1: although the file system supports the ability to derive from Yocto feeds and do an update like the "opkg update", you would need to point it to a relevant publicly accessible feed or a private feed that you set up. As far as I know, there is no public feed that can help you achieve the desired result in this method. Please let me know if you are aware of any public feeds that I can try. Regarding the Method 2: I need more details to comment on the errors that you are facing. but this method wouldn't be my recommendation. The easiest method would be to just add the minicom and nano packages into your Yocto filesystem image, and generate the opkg and transfer/install to the target. Regards Karthik
