[ptxdist] Which versionS should i use?

[Norbert Roos]

Hello,

I'm just doing the first steps with ptxdist, and became pretty confused 
about the versions:

I downloaded the project "phyCORE-OMAP4-2013.01.0", which uses ptxdist 
2013.01.0. Ok so far.

Now i want to build a toolchain, but there is no OSELAS 2013.01.1 
toolchain. If i take a different toolchain, ptxdist gives me an error 
about a mismatching ptxdist version (i tried it with the toolchain 
versions 2012.12.1 and 2013.12.2).

I could of course ignore the error, but i'd like to do it the right way. 
So what is the correct way then?

And do i see it right that the downloaded project package 
(phyCORE-OMAP4-2013.01.0) is the BSP, or are these two different packages?

Bye Norbert

You can (and should) install different versions of ptxdist at the same
time. In addition to /usr/local/bin/ptxdist there are binaries (scripts)
that have the version inside, e.g. /usr/local/bin/ptxdist-2013.12.

You can even (that's what I do to build a toolchain) "install" ptxdist
in the toolchain directory, i.e.

 % cd OSELAS-Toolchain-xxx
 % curl -O \
  http://ptxdist.org/software/ptxdist/download/ptxdist-2013.12.0.tar.bz2
 % cd ptxdist-2013.12.0
 % ./configure && make
 % cd ..
 % ln -s ptxdist-2013.12.0/bin/ptxdist p
 % ./p select ptxconfigs/...
 % ./p go


Regards,
Bernhard

Is this a board support package? Does it contain a toolchain? Where did
you get it?

I guess you mean when compiling the toolchain?

For compiling the toolchain, install the exact ptxdist version wanted.
As said before, it's no problem to have several ptxdist versions
installed in parallel.

It's not clear what you actually downloaded and where, so we can not
easily have a look inside. ;-)

In general: toolchain and BSP are two different things.

Besides: it's possible to set a toolchain version in the BSP package, so
maybe in this phyCORE BSP there's set one. Which is it?
