BELK-L contains all the required software and documentation to start developing Linux application on the BORA platform. In particular, BELK-L-S provides a virtual machine, called DVDK, with the following features:

• VirtualBox virtual machine (.OVA archive)
• based on Lubuntu 16.04 LTS (64-bit version)
• pre-installed VirtualBox Guest Additions
• LXDE desktop environment
• boot disk with the distro and pre-configured basic Linux services:
  • TFTP: with base directory /srv/tftp/
  • NFS: configured through the /etc/exports file
• secondary disk containing source code and tools:
  • 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, BORA Lite and BORA Xpress SOMs
• 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)
  • user: dvdk

Please note that u-boot and kernel source trees are derived from the official trees released by Xilinx; these trees have been customized to add support for the BORA, BORA Lite and BORA Xpress SOMs
