LLDP pakcages maintenance problem based on LX2160ARDB?

[jackho]

Hi,

We use LLDP 5.15.71 based on LX2160ardb platform

About  meta-nxp-deskop layer, it has below describe:

# Note that we have a tight dependency to ubuntu-main
# and that we cannot just install arbitrary Yocto packages to avoid
# rootfs pollution or destruction.

What does this description mean?

How do we add packages with the below parameters on ls-image-main.bb file?

Yocto: IMAGE_INSTALL

Ubuntu : APTGET_EXTRA_PACKAGES

Can I install some package from yocto and some from ubuntu apt?

Is it may cause package conflict, how to avoid it?

BR,

Jack

You are using Ubuntu images, therefore root file system update should be done based on Ubuntu package manager.

IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " ..." should be used for packages that don't have Ubuntu equivalent, which is for example nxp repositories

 APTGET_EXTRA_PACKAGES += "nvmi-cli" should be used for Ubuntu to install nvmi-cli based on apt-get install nvmi-cli.

So, please only use APTGET_EXTRA_PACKAGES to add packages in ls-image-main rootfs.
