During the development of custom applications, developers generally realize that they need to add libraries and other software packages to the root file systems to make their code run properly. If these packages are prebuilt, developers can easily install these additional packages onto the root file system very easily. By configuring the target as described in this document, they achieve a user experience similar to the one you have with a desktop Linux distro such as Ubuntu. DESK-MP1-L uses by default the <code>deb</code> package format. As such, [https://itsfoss.com/apt-command-guide/ apt commands] can be used for package management. Prebuilt packages are provided by a repository that DAVE Embedded Systems makes available for its customers.

Prebuilt packages are provided by [https://yocto.dave.eu/desk-mp1-l-1.0.0/ this repository] that DAVE Embedded Systems makes available for its customers.
 
 
==Configuring the target==
 
In order to use <code>apt-get</code> for runtime package management, you must perform an initial setup on the target machine for cases where the PACKAGE_FEED_* variables were not set as part of the image that is running on the target.
 
 
 
== apt-get ==
 
The following instructions detail how to use apt-get for installing packages with Yocto repositories created by DAVE's build system for DESK-MX8M-L.
 
 
 
===Configuring <code>apt</code>===
 
Edit the file <code>/etc/apt/apt.conf</code> like this:
 
<pre>
 
APT::Architecture "arm64";
 
APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated "true";
 
Acquire::Languages "none";
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Edit the file <code>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-10.list</code> like this:
 
<pre class="board-terminal">
 
root@desk-mx8mp:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-10.list
 
deb [trusted=yes] http://yocto.dave.eu/imx-5.4.70-2.3.0/ all/
 
deb [trusted=yes] http://yocto.dave.eu/imx-5.4.70-2.3.0/ aarch64/
 
deb [trusted=yes] http://yocto.dave.eu/imx-5.4.70-2.3.0/ aarch64-mx8mp/
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Execute the following commands in order to re-create the ''apt'' cache based on the new server's list:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
 
apt-get clean
 
apt-get update
 
</pre>
 
 
 
<pre class="board-terminal">
 
root@desk-mx8mp:~# rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
 
root@desk-mx8mp:~# apt-get clean
 
root@orca:~# apt-get update

Reading package lists... Done
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Then, modify the cached package list due to the proper DAVE's server configuration:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
sed -i 's/\.\//aarch64\//g' /var/lib/apt/lists/yocto.dave.eu_imx-5.4.70-2.3.0_aarch64_Packages
 
sed -i 's/\.\//all\//g' /var/lib/apt/lists/yocto.dave.eu_imx-5.4.70-2.3.0_all_Packages
 
sed -i 's/\.\//aarch64-mx8mp\//g' /var/lib/apt/lists/yocto.dave.eu_imx-5.4.70-2.3.0_aarch64-mx8mp_Packages
 
</pre>
 
 
 
== Installing packages on target ==
 
 
 
We assume that network interface has been already configured for Internet access. In any case, a simple network configuration can be done according to the [[DESK-MX8M-L/Deployment/How_to_configure_the_network_interfaces#Static_IP_address | How to configure the network interfaces]] wiki page.
 
 
 
The target is finally ready to install new packages. The following example shows for instance the installation of <code>vim</code>:
 
<pre class="board-terminal">
 
root@orca:~# apt-get install vim
 
Reading package lists... Done
 
Building dependency tree
 
Reading state information... Done
 
The following additional packages will be installed:
 
  vim-common vim-help vim-syntax vim-tutor vim-vimrc
 
The following NEW packages will be installed:
 
  vim vim-common vim-help vim-syntax vim-tutor vim-vimrc

== Other useful apt commands ==
 
 
 
=== List of configured software repositories ===
 
As shown before, the target is configured for accessing the Yocto repositories as listed in the <code>/etc/apt/sources.list.d</code> apt configuration directory:
 
 
 
<pre class="board-terminal">
 
root@desk-mx8mp:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-10.list
 
deb [trusted=yes] http://yocto.dave.eu/imx-5.4.70-2.3.0/ all/
 
deb [trusted=yes] http://yocto.dave.eu/imx-5.4.70-2.3.0/ aarch64/
 
deb [trusted=yes] http://yocto.dave.eu/imx-5.4.70-2.3.0/ aarch64-mx8mp/
 
</pre>
 
 
 
=== Search for packages ===
 
 
 
To search for an available package into the current configured channels use <code>apt-cache search</code>
 
 
 
Please note that this will show all packages, it's usually more useful to grep for a pattern, e.g.:
 
 
 
<pre class="board-terminal">
 
root@desk-mx8mp:~# apt-cache search vim
 
vim-dbg - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - Debugging files
 
vim - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
 
vim-common - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
 
vim-src - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - Source files
 
vim-tutor - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
 
vim-vimrc - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
 
vim-syntax - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
 
vim-tools - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
 
vim-help - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
 
vim-dev - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - Development files
 
vim-doc - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - Documentation files
 
root@desk-mx8mp:~#
 
</pre>
 
 
 
=== List of installed packages ===
 
 
 
User can see the list of installed packages with <code>dpkg --get-selections | sed 's:install$::'</code> (sed removes the ''install'' string from the output list)

Introduction[edit | edit source]

During the development of custom applications, developers generally realize that they need to add libraries and other software packages to the root file systems to make their code run properly. If these packages are prebuilt, developers can install them onto the root file system very easily. By configuring the target as described in this document, they achieve a user experience similar to the one you have with a desktop Linux distro such as Ubuntu. DESK-MP1-L uses by default the deb package format. As such, apt commands can be used for package management. Prebuilt packages are provided by this repository that DAVE Embedded Systems makes available for its customers.
