Hello community I recently purchased NXP 8M plus  EVK Board. So while going through Getting Started I booted up the Board from Emmc and connected through HDMI to a external DIsplay. In the UI I can only see a Wayland Terminal, I want to Install Certain Python Libraries and Want to clone Github repositories But If I connect Ethernet Cable its not taking Internet. I cannot install Apt, Pip or anything,
Can community guide me how to proceed? If I have to Use any other OS what is the procedure to Do it , please help me Getting Started. 
Why Ethernet is Not working?, If the default OS in EMMC is not the way to go What other thing I need to setup to get started with my Python and Github activities?

HI @ashutosh2!

Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

 

Unfortunately  to add packages to your file system you should compile the image using yocto.

 

Additional packages can be installed by adding the following line in <build dir>/local.conf.
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL:append = " <package_name1 package_name2>"

 

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/IMX_YOCTO_PROJECT_USERS_GUIDE.pdf

 

The pip install should work on the pre-compiled image.

 

Best Regards!
