Linux rzg-fsp installation method

[JGrossholtz]

Hello,

I need to install the rzg-fsp on a Linux PC. I followed the "Getting Started with Flexible Software Package" guide from November 2022. It gives indications for e2 studio, toolchain installation on Ubuntu. But nothing for the rzg-fsp.

Am I missing something ? If not, could you fix this please ?
Thanks a lot.

I have been able to to use wine, a Windows emulator on Linux, to run the installer. It is not ideal, but it works.
$ sudo apt install wine
$ wine RZG_FSP_Packs_v1.2.0.exe

It works... but it takes about 1Gb of space to install wine on the user PC.

Could you try the following procedure, please?

1. Download RZG_FSP_Packs_v1.2.0.zip from https://github.com/renesas/rzg-fsp/releases.
2. Extract the zip file to e2studio installation directory.
3. Invoke e2studio. Then, FSP is installed automatically.

That's our document issue. Sorry for this inconvenience. We'll consider revising Getting Started with FSP shortly.

Hi,

Thank you for your quick feedback. I can confirm your solution work : all I had to do is unzip the RZG_FSP_Packs_v1.2.0.zip on the e2studio installation dir : it just creates a folder called "internal".

Then, I was able to build the rpmsg_demo with the toolchain modified with the LigenUpdateInstall tool.

While you update the document, maybe you could also provide a direct link to the gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2 toolchain as well ?

The Getting started doc points to a really general page where that toolchain release is no longer displayed, you could provide instead: https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads/9-2019-q4-major

Unless a later version would also work ? Since I had the issue with the FSP pack I stayed with the recommended version.
