Where can I find admin information on the 'Easy Install' Linux images

I was working with the Easy install and I’ve tried the

  • console beta but I can’t use opkg to install things like gcc or screen or python.
  • Torizon - I don’t even know what distro this is so I don’t know what is the package manager.
  • I tried one of the LXDE images and I kept getting errors on ssh access (I don’t like systemd)

So where do I find the admin instructions for these images. I need to add a lot and my code.

Greetings @linuxha,

Just to clarify you’re referring to our 3.0b3 console image correct?

If so then this image is based off of a minimal poky distribution. Meaning it has no real package manager by default. For developing and adding additional packages it is expected to use the yocto build system to create a customized image for your needs using our image as a reference to build off of.

For an image with a GCC compiler out of the box you’d have to use our BSP V2.8 images, as those still have the opkg package manager.

Otherwise you’ll have to rebuild the image with the development tools you need.

However, may I ask why you require a GCC compiler directly on the device? Is cross-compiling not an option in your case?

Do any of the Linux images have the gcc compiler included in them?

I will look into Yoccto but the BSP V2.8 looks like what I currently need.

Thanks
