apt-get not working

ajayvenkatakris — Tue, 29 Nov 2016 09:26:56 GMT

I can not install any package as the apt-get command does not work in my sabre auto imx6qsolo. How do I install packages?

Hi Ajay,

what Linux you are using? Is that a Yocto or you have different distribution?

Yes it yocto only. Can you specify the link of the OS which I can flash in the sabre auto board using Mfgtools, something which supports most linux commands?

At this moment, there is only prepared Android and Yocto. If you want to build your own Ubuntu you can use this tutorial https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-330147

Hi, thank you for the solution. One more thing I wanted to know is that I have an SD with Raspbian OS in it. Can it be run by the imx6 board?

I have tried the link you suggested but I am getting a lot of errors. Where can I find a prepared yocto, that supports commands like apt-get for my sabre-auto board?

Yocto don't have packages, so when you have it on the SD card, you have to build everything extra. Only way to get packages to Yocto image is when you are building the image. i.MX Yocto Project: How do I add an existing package to an image?

Hi,

Even though I managed to get apt-get, a sources file is missing and apt-get install does not work.

Hi,

The link you provided for building Ubuntu rootfs does not work due to a faulty link in the steps provided.

https://releases.linaro.org/14.09/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09_linux.tar.xz.

This link does not take me to the required page.
