== Installing packages on target (using feed) ==
 +
 +
We need to tell <code>opkg</code> on the embedded system where to look for packages.
 +
 +
The opkg configuration file is /etc/opkg/opkg.conf.
 +
 +
Edit the opkg.conf file to look like this:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
root@lizard:~# vi /etc/opkg/opkg.conf
 +
# Must have one or more source entries of the form:
 +
#
 +
#  src <src-name> <source-url>
 +
#
 +
# and one or more destination entries of the form:
 +
#
 +
#  dest <dest-name> <target-path>
 +
#
 +
# where <src-name> and <dest-names> are identifiers that
 +
# should match [a-zA-Z0-9._-]+, <source-url> should be a
 +
# URL that points to a directory containing a Familiar
 +
# Packages file, and <target-path> should be a directory
 +
# that exists on the target system.
 +
 +
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
and add the following server:
 +
 +
src/gz cortexa8hf-vfp-neon http://yocto.dave.eu/lizard/cortexa8hf-vfp-neon-2.6.37.2/

Introduction[edit | edit source]

Thanks to the opkg packet manager installed on Yocto built root file system, Lizard module allows to install new packages (if available).

This task can be performed using DAVE Yocto pre-built package server available at the http://yocto.dave.eu address.

Installing packages on target (manually)[edit | edit source]

To use opkg at runtime first of all you need to enable the network interface with DNS configuration for accessing external http servers.

An example of network interface configuration for Internet access is described here below. Configuration can be done directly on serial console with the following commands:

root@sbc-lynx:~# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.94
root@sbc-lynx:~# route add default gw 192.168.0.254
root@sbc-lynx:~# echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf

where 192.168.0.254 is the gateway address and 8.8.8.8 is the DNS server (in this case Google's one).

Once the network interface is configured, the DAVE's Yocto Lizard package server can be accessed for package downloading:

root@lizard:~# wget http://yocto.dave.eu/lizard/cortexa8hf-vfp-neon-2.6.37.2/pack_name

Where:

For example:

root@lizard:~# wget http://yocto.dave.eu/lizard/cortexa8hf-vfp-neon-2.6.37.2/openssh-sftp_6.1p1-r0-arago0_cortexa8hf-vfp-neon-2.6.37.2.ipk

After the required packages have been download, you need to install them using opkg:

root@lizard:~# opkg
opkg must have one sub-command argument
usage: opkg [options...] sub-command [arguments...]
where sub-command is one of:

Package Manipulation:
        update                  Update list of available packages
        upgrade                 Upgrade installed packages
        install <pkgs>          Install package(s)
        configure <pkgs>        Configure unpacked package(s)
        remove <pkgs|regexp>    Remove package(s)
        flag <flag> <pkgs>      Flag package(s)
         <flag>=hold|noprune|user|ok|installed|unpacked (one per invocation)

Informational Commands:
        list                    List available packages
        list-installed          List installed packages
        list-upgradable         List installed and upgradable packages
        list-changed-conffiles  List user modified configuration files
        files <pkg>             List files belonging to <pkg>
        search <file|regexp>    List package providing <file>
        info [pkg|regexp]       Display all info for <pkg>
        status [pkg|regexp]     Display all status for <pkg>
        download <pkg>          Download <pkg> to current directory
        compare-versions <v1> <op> <v2>
                            compare versions using <= < > >= = << >>
        print-architecture      List installable package architectures
        depends [-A] [pkgname|pat]+
        whatdepends [-A] [pkgname|pat]+

For example, for the openssh packages previously downloaded, you can install the packages on the target with the following command:

root@lizard:~# opkg install openssh-keygen_6.1p1-r0-arago0_cortexa8hf-vfp-neon-2.6.37.2.ipk

Once the system is restarted, the new openssh package will be activated using the installed scripts. Fro checking is the daemon is running, simply:

root@lizard:~# ps | grep ssh
  660 root      3916 S    /usr/sbin/sshd
  747 root      3964 S    {sshd} sshd: root@pts/0

The package dependencies will NOT be resolved automatically.

root@lizard:~# opkg install openssh_6.1p1-r0-arago0_cortexa8hf-vfp-neon-2.6.37.2.ipk

Installing packages on target (using feed)[edit | edit source]

We need to tell opkg on the embedded system where to look for packages.

The opkg configuration file is /etc/opkg/opkg.conf.

Edit the opkg.conf file to look like this:

root@lizard:~# vi /etc/opkg/opkg.conf
# Must have one or more source entries of the form:
#
#   src <src-name> <source-url>
#
# and one or more destination entries of the form:
#
#   dest <dest-name> <target-path>
#
# where <src-name> and <dest-names> are identifiers that
# should match [a-zA-Z0-9._-]+, <source-url> should be a
# URL that points to a directory containing a Familiar
# Packages file, and <target-path> should be a directory
# that exists on the target system.


and add the following server:

src/gz all http://yocto.dave.eu/lizard/all
