Ticket Name: TDA2EVM5777: Vision SDK sample_app build configuration

Query Text:
Part Number: TDA2EVM5777 Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA2 Hello, I am attempting to build the sample_app provided with PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00 for TDA2 EVM with RTOS (config: tda2xx_evm_bios_all). My Vision SDK is located in the path C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00, while my 'build', 'links_fw', and 'sample_app' folders are located in the path D:\TEST. Following build steps from the TDA2xx Vision SDK User Guide and with a few modifications to the makefiles, I was able to build the sample_app. The issue is, my binaries are getting generated in the path C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00\vision_sdk\binaries. How can I modify the make configuration so that my binaries are generated in the path D:\TEST\binaries? Thank you.

Hi, You need to change DEST_ROOT in PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00\vision_sdk\build\rtos\makerules\env.mk. Regards, Rishabh

Hello, My objective is to separate the application from the TI toolchain and other VSDK dependencies. Thus, my folder structures are as shown below. C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00 |___ti_components |___vision_sdk |___apps |___build |___docs |___links_fw |___sample_app D:\TEST |___binaries |___build |___links_fw |___sample_app I also performed the following steps: (1) All content under C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00 is unchanged from its default state (2) Edited line #13 of D:\TEST\build\Rules.make to build 'sample_app' instead of 'apps' (3) Edited line #2 of D:\TEST\build\tools_path.mk to point to C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00\ti_components (4) Edited line #11 of D:\TEST\build\rtos\makerules\env.mk to point to D:\TEST\binaries I had expected that these steps will create the executables as I wanted. But the executables are still getting created under C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00\vision_sdk\binaries. It appears that the build configuration from D:\TEST does not override the configuration from C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00\vision_sdk\build. What are the proper steps to achieve this? Thank you.

Hi, I see binaries folder inside D:/Test as well as shared in the above folder. Are you initiating build from D:/Test/build folder? Are you seeing few folders in C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00\ and others in D:\Test or everything is under C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00\. Regards, Rishabh

Hello, Rishabh Garg said: I see binaries folder inside D:/Test as well as shared in the above folder. In the folder structure that I have depicted, I have shown the binaries folder under D:\TEST only, because that is how I want it.

Hi, Just to confirm, the build folder (D:\Test\build) from where you are trying to build, Did you copied it from "C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00\vision_sdk" folder ? And also looking like you are modifying wrong "env.mk" file (4) Edited line #11 of D:\ADAS_PRK_I\build\rtos\makerules\env.mk to point to D:\TEST\binaries Either you should edit the file under C:\PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00\vision_sdk\build\rtos\makerules\env.mk to point to D:\TEST\binaries or edit the file under D:\Test\build\rtos\makerules\env.mk to point to D:\TEST\binaries Regards Surya

By mistake, I specified the wrong path here; I have corrected step (4) in my earlier post. I edited D:\TEST\build\rtos\makerules\env.mk to point to D:\TEST\binaries, which is as per your suggestion. Thank you.

Hi, 1. Instead of changing DEST_ROOT in file D:\Test\build\rtos\makerules\env.mk, you can modify "vision_sdk_PATH " in file "Rules.mk" & then try building from D:\TEST\build folder vision_sdk_PATH := $(abspath ..) to vision_sdk_PATH := D:\TEST 2. Rename "vision_sdk" folder inside the "PROCESSOR_SDK_VISION_03_06_00_00" package to "__vision_sdk" & then try building from D:\TEST\build folder Regards Surya

Hello, Your suggestion worked nicely. The binaries were generated under D:\TEST, as required. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Sagar, Thanks for the update and confirmation. Regards, Rishabh
