Ticket Name: TDA2PXEVM: Is there a way to build yocto but not thud on TDA2Px-EVM to build python3 Tensorflow-lite

Query Text:
Part Number: TDA2PXEVM Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA2 Hello all, I Have TDA2Px-EVM board and I was able to build yocto file system on using this guide: http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/docs/06_00_00_07/linux/Overview_Building_the_SDK.html I was also able to customize the image as i have added some layers like meta-ros, meta-scipy and I was also able to create custom layer to install and build some libraries, packages and package groups. I was installing some python packages and the changes I made to the image allowed me to install most of the needed python3 packages using pip3. I am currently facing a problem in installing tensorflow or tensorflow-lite when I added meta-tensorflow-lite layer https://github.com/NobuoTsukamoto/meta-tensorflow-lite/ and appended to my image recipe IMAGE_INSTALL += " python3-tensorflow-lite " I have got "ERROR: Layer meta-tensorflow-lite is not compatible with the core layer which only supports these series: thud" So I am currently facing a problem as processor sdk 6.x are all based on thud and this distro is not supported in the tensorflow-lite meta layer and When I tried to build a different version of processor SDK there was a toolchain error "ERROR: Failed to parse external Linaro toolchain version from: gcc version 8.3.0 " as probably the other versions of processor SDK doesn't support "dra7xx-evm". My problem shortly is there any way to build yocto file system on TDA2Px-EVM based on another yocto distro rather than thud or is there a way to build and install python3 tensorflow or tensorflow-lite on TDA2Px-EVM using the built and working yocto with this version of processor SDK. Thanks in Advance. Best regards, Kirollos Henry

Hi Kirollos, Apologies for the delay in the response to this. Kirollos Henry said: is there any way to build yocto file system on TDA2Px-EVM based on another yocto distro rather than thud The short answer is no, thud is the last release with a completely validated offering with DRA7/TDA2. You will have to take care of the migration at your end.

I dont think anyone in TI has spent time on this problem, therefore we are unable to provide you with any further instructions. Regards Karthik
