I checked all the paths related with libraries in paths.mk and flags.mk and seems to be in right location.

How can I resolve this error.

Thanx in advance.

Hi Yuri,

I am using Ubuntu. And I tried the command you have suggested to program the SD card using the 'stream.bin' file. But it is not copying any file to SD card. Also, I have tried to run the 'stream.elf' file on the target board using '$ ./stream.elf' command, but immediately it exits with 'Killed' output.

Can you please help me how can I create executable from the SDK and run it on the target machine?

Thanks,

Dhaval

Dhaval, hi !

   Please pay attention - the Platform SDK generates bare metal images. They are not intended

to run under OS. Bare metal .elf may be loaded and run via a JTAG debugger (witjout OS running).
Linux shell is waiting special .elf files, built for Linux.

  The .bin file, copied to SD card via Linux command "dd" usually is not visible thru a filesystem.

It is just seqence of physical blocks, located on free area, which is not accessible by a filesystem.   

Regards,

Yuri.

Hi,

I have used arm-none-eabi-gcc version 4.8

GCC ARM Embedded project files : GCC ARM Embedded

And I have no issues. I wonder if you can try with that one.

Hi Alejandro,

Thanks for your help!

I download the arm-none-eabi-gcc version 4.8 and extract it to /opt directory. It has created a "/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_8-2014q3" directory. Now to build the SDK v1.1.0, I modified the '<SDK Directory>/mk/common.mk':

CROSS_COMPILE = /opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_8-2014q3/bin/arm-none-eabi-

And then I ran './tools/build_sdk' to build the SDK. But still I am getting following errors:

Can you please help me to resolve this? Am I doing something wrong?
