LINUX V1.2 SDK Compilation

SDK (Software Development Kit) is a collection of development tools provided for a specific software framework, hardware platform, or operating system, designed to help developers create applications more efficiently.

Build Environment Setup

Install Ubuntu on a PC for SDK compilation.

  • Hardware: PC with RAM ≥ 16 GB, CPU cores ≥ 4
  • Software: Ubuntu 18.04, VM disk space ≥ 100GB

Note

Ubuntu 22.04/20.04 have been tested and produce numerous compilation errors. Their use is not recommended.
Compilation under WSL has not been tested or verified. Its use is not recommended.

Obtain SDK Source Code

Click to download SDK. The Tina 5.0 Linux SDK supports building two filesystems: buildroot and ubuntu.

├── 1-SDK
│   └── linux

│           └── release_sdk_20260401.sh

Note

  1. Do not place the SDK in a shared directory for compilation.
  2. Do not compile while logged in as the ROOT user.
  1. Run the script to extract SDK source
chmod +x ./release_sdk_20260401.sh
./release_sdk_20260401.sh
