eIQ-toolkit fails to start on my ubuntu

[greeran]

hi

i would like to test the npu on my imx8mp. from the documents it recommends working with the eIQ-Toolkit. i downloaded the latest eIQ-Toolkit and installed successfully. but when i start the application is fails 

Unhandled Promise Rejection
TypeError: Cannot read property 'kill' of null at /opt/nxp/eIQ_Toolkit_v1.14.0/resources/app.asar/background.js:2:573509

Could someone tell me how to start the application. could it be permission problems as the application is installed and set as root

thanks

Hi @greeran 

Could you please try below commands in your side?

/opt/nxp/eIQ_Toolkit_v1.14.0$ ./bin/eiqenv.sh

/opt/nxp/eIQ_Toolkit_v1.14.0$ ./eiq-portal

Hi, it would be nice to have eIQ toolkit for Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 as they are LTS OS. Actually the problem is that the toolkit is trying to load older libraries than are delivered with actual OS versions (libffi7, libssl etc.). When will be newer OS version supported? It is a quite late already.
