[External] RE: Upgrading the components with latest version

Jagade, Nachiket
 

Hi Shiv,

 

We are working on TI am335x sitara based platform.

We have adopted Yocto build as per your suggestion and created custom distro which is a mix of arago and poky.

Reason is that when we last checked, arago distro did not had latest version of open source packages.

Also some layers were not available in arago and we had to resolve many dependencies while compiling.

We created this custom distro long ago using Dunfell 3.1.2 branch.

 

Now we want to make a new distro with latest versions of all required packages.

So shall we go with 3.4 Honister or with latest dunfell release 3.1.13? Which release has full ti support for chipset and other drivers ?

What will you suggest to achieve this?

 

 

Thanks,

Nachiket

Hi Ravi/Sridhara,

 

In that case I suggest adopt to the Yacto build and have your custom components selected as per your requirements. Note that the SDK is provided to cater to larger set of customers for their

quick usage. If there are any specific requirements then its suggested to use the Yacto.  Please see if it’s very much required to migrate then only upgrade as some packages may not be stable that are available in opensource.

Hi Shiv,

 

If we provide a list of components, would it be possible for you to provide the updated SDK packages.

Please let us know as this would accelerate for us.

 

Regards

Vinay

Hi Shiv,

                Thank you for quick response. Unfortunately compiling each individually is complex and also we need to compile updated dependent packages as well.

As I mentioned earlier, we are using TI SDK.

 

Thanks and regards,

Ravi

Hi Ravi,

 

There are two options.

 

 

  1. If you are using the Yacto build system then you can change the bitbake layers to point to updated version of the below components.
  2. If you are using the SDK then you can download the source code of the version you are looking and cross compile with the SDK provided compiler tool chain.

 

Best Regards, Shiv

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Upgrading the components with latest version

 

Hi Shiv,

                We had used the TI SDK 06.01.00.08 version. This SDK has many components not updated with latest version.

We want to update these components to address vulnerabilities in the components by using the latest version.

I have checked with latest TI SDK 06.03.00.106 version but both SDKs have same version for most of the components.

E.g. perl (5.24.4), zlib (3.23.1) etc.

 

Is there any other way to update these components?

 

Thanks and regards,

Ravi
