Yocto Linux for ADSP-SC5xx Processors - Release for ADSP-SC594: Release Notes
Introduction
This release of Yocto Linux for ADSP-SC5xx Processors is a release specific to the ADSP-SC594 SOM board and ADSP-EZKIT Carrier board. This release does not support other ADSP-SC5xx processors that are supported by the 1.0 Release of Yocto Linux for ADSP-SC5xx Processors.
Future of this Release
Once the other existing processors have been upgraded to the same versions of U-Boot, Linux and Yocto, this release will be merged and all processors will be supported under a single 2.0 release. At that point, support for this release will cease. All future maintenance for the ADSP-SC594 will then be incorporated into the main Yocto Linux Release.
Supported Linux Distributions
The Yocto Linux for ADSP-SC5xx processors product is formally supported on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-bit. While the product will likely build on other modern Linux distributions, ADI support for build issues will only be provided when using the supported Linux distribution.
Supported Processors and EZ-KITs
The following processors and silicon revisions are supported by the Yocto Linux for ADSP-SC5xx product.
* ADSP-SC594 SOM-EZ in combination with the ADSP-EZKIT-CRR Carrier Board
System Requirements
The following system requirements are recommended:
- Modern multi-core CPU
- 8GB RAM
- At least 60GB of disk space
For installation on the development board your host PC will require:
- Two open USB ports
Note: The Yocto Linux product is built from source. For improved performance we recommend at least 4 cores and a SSD disk.
