This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for installing and configuring the SigmaStar SDK. Whether you are working with the SSD201, SSD202, or the newer MSC series, the foundational environment setup remains largely the same. 1. Prerequisites and System Requirements
mkdir sigmastar_sdk tar -xzvf SigmaStar_SDK_V1.0.tar.gz -C ./sigmastar_sdk cd sigmastar_sdk Use code with caution. Inside, you will typically see the following structure: boot/ : U-Boot source code. kernel/ : Linux kernel source.
Always verify your toolchain path by typing arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -v . If the command isn't found, your PATH export failed. 7. Flashing the Images sigmastar sdk install
If you see "libz.so.1 not found," you likely need to install 32-bit compatibility libraries ( sudo apt-get install lib32z1 ).
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libncurses5-dev bison flex texinfo \ pkg-config zlib1g-dev liblzo2-dev uuid-dev tree gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf \ u-boot-tools patch gzip bzip2 perl tar bc image-config Use code with caution. 6. Common Installation Issues
Locate the toolchain compressed file within your SDK package (usually named something like gcc-arm-8.2.1... ). Extract it to /opt/ or your preferred directory:
Once the build completes, the output images (e.g., IPL.bin , UBOOT.bin , kernel , rootfs.squashfs ) are usually located in project/image/output/images/ . You can flash these using: Placing images on a FAT32 USB drive. TFTP: Loading via network through U-Boot console. the output images (e.g.
This process will compile U-Boot, the Kernel, and the Rootfs. Depending on your hardware, this can take 20 to 60 minutes. 6. Common Installation Issues
