Root Filesystem#

This module introduces the root filesystems provided in the Processor SDK Linux package.

The Processor SDK Linux package provides root filesystem (rootfs) images that contain programs, scripts, and Linux user-space components that abstract various hardware accelerators available in the SoC.

There are different filesystem images provided in the installed SDK under folder filesystem/.

tisdk-edgeai-image

This is the complete rootfs image, that contains standard Linux commands and features. This image also contains the TI component libraries, binaries and out-of-box examples.

tisdk-tiny-image

This is a very small rootfs image, only a few MegaBytes, intended to be used as initramfs for the use cases such as flashing system image. It uses SysVinit rather than systemd as in other rootfs images, and it does not include kernel files such as kernel image, dtb, or kernel modules.
