How to install newer version of mono in linux

hi @design and Welcome to the Toradex Community!!!

I need to install a more recent version of mono (5.10 or greater). How would I do this? Alternately, would it be easier to install .net core?

I imagine you installed using opkg. The version is given by the Angstrom Feeds. Depending on your needs, I can suggest you two solutions:

  1. You can do a custom openembedded build with the layer thud or the master branch and import toradex Bsp in this branch. The compilation may work or not, you need to try this.

  2. You can install Torizon and .net core on the module. Please have a look here for an example.

Best regards,
