Virtual Machine[edit | edit source]
DESK-MX6UL-L contains all the required software and documentation to start developing Linux application on the AXEL ULite platform. In particular, DESK-MX6UL-L provides a virtual machine, called DVDK, with the following features:
- VirtualBox virtual machine (.OVA archive)
- based on Lubuntu 20.04 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/exportsfile
- TFTP: with base directory
- 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 AXEL ULite 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)
- user: dvdk
- password: dvdk
Please note that u-boot and kernel source trees are derived from the official trees released by NXP/Freescale; these trees have been customized to add support for the AXEL ULite SOM.
Guest Addictions[edit | edit source]
Guest Addictions installation may fail if the VirtualBox version is different from the VM linux kernel version.
In case of VBox error message:
Error: kernel headers not found
as suggested here, install the correct kernel header using the following command:

and the run the Guest Addictions install

Host setup[edit | edit source]
 Since your OS, where VirtualBox is running, can be different compared to the version that we using, in case of an error we suggest updating VirtualBox to the latest release patch. For example, if we used |
As stated previously, AXEL ULite SOM host tools are based on a Managed Virtual Machine, we used virtualbox-6.1_6.1.18-142142 to perform virtual machine. MVM OVA files can be downloaded here. For accessing DESK Reserved area please contact our helpdesk support channel
