Hello Devendra Singh Baghel,

You would need to add the package classes for ipk. You may add this to the already existing PACKAGE_CLASSES variable in the local.conf file.

PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm package_ipk"

You would also need to add the package-management feature to the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES variable.

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += " package-management"

And also the opkg recipe:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " opkg

These are the main packages required for OPKG. After this you would need to setup the repositories in order for OPKG to work.

I hope this helps!

Really nice.. Also if you want install dpkg apt-get apply this ones

PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm package_deb"

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += " package-management"

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " apt"
