Host setup and development flow (BELK/BXELK)

Info Box Applies to BORA Xpress

The software development flows for BoraX requires the use of several tools on host side. This document collects several resources available in this wiki, in order to illustrate how to install and set up these tools.

First of all, the reading of this document is strongly recommended to have an overview of the developing environment.

Host setup

As stated previously, XUELK host tools are based on a Managed Virtual Machine. As indicated here, microSD card delivered along with XUELK includes basic version of MVM that is the default option.

In case you choose to use the Advanced version of the MVM instead, the project-name to be used is lynx.

Either version you choose, please follow the procedure described here to install the MVM.

It is also worth remembering that access to git repositories is required to download target source code. To enable it, please refer to this page.

Either version of MVM is installed, it provides the tools required to build U-boot and Linux kernel. It does not include the tools required to run Yocto build system instead.
