Hi @JorgeCas , thank you for your response.

Here i'm not using Yocto project or any other tool to create image, I just downloaded default BSP image zip file from NXP portal and flashed into emmc. can't we add packages into default  BSP Linux OS ?

Best Regards

Hello,

The i.MX BSP does not have a package manager like apt-get. You would need to add it to the Linux image. There is some information on the following documents, although further customization would be required.

Also, you could try to use NXP Linux Yocto Project BSP for Desktop PoC (it has package manager).

Best regards.
