Chapter 2: BeagleBone Black SDK Setup - tshakthipradeep/BBB GitHub Wiki

Once the SDK is installed, we have to setup the SDK.

I originally installed the SDK at below path

/home/shakthi/Documents/Projects/AM335x_SK/Project/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-07.00.00.00

but for the sake of taking screenshots I reinstalled the SDK at

/home/shakthi/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-07.00.00.00

From here on SDK_INSTALL_PATH will refer to the original installation path

/home/shakthi/Documents/Projects/AM335x_SK/Project/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-07.00.00.00

Go to SDK_INSTALL_PATH and run the following command using sudo prefix as some of the commands that are run by the setup script need root access.

sudo ./setup.sh

The setup script does the following things:

• Verification that the Linux host is the recommended Ubuntu LTS version
• Installation of required host packages
• Target FileSystem installation
• NFS setup
• TFTP setup
• Minicom setup
• uboot setup
• Load uboot script

To know more about the setup script go to the below TI official wiki
