• based on Lubuntu 16.04 LTS (64-bit version)
• pre-installed VirtualBox Guest Additions

  • bootloader (u-boot) source tree cloned from DAVE Embedded Systems public git repository
  • Linux kernel source tree cloned from DAVE Embedded Systems public git repository
  • external pre-built toolchain
  • Yocto BSP for BORA Lite SOM
• pre-installed Yocto-based root file systems with setup scripts, makefiles, example applications, ...
• administrator account (dvdk) with autologin. Please note that the user account credentials are provided with the development kit (you can find them in the README file contained in the sw/dvdk folder of the kit distribution)
