Requirements
To install a Digi Embedded Yocto toolchain, you need a development machine with at least:
-
Linux 64-bit system (Ubuntu 20.04)
-
4 CPU cores
-
4 GB of RAM
-
Between 3 GB and 10 GB of free disk space, depending on platform
| Before starting development for your ConnectCore platform, make sure your device is correctly connected, powered, and running. See Step 2 - Set up the hardware and Step 3 - Program the Yocto firmware. |
Download and install the toolchain
| If you already installed a toolchain with the Digi Application Development Environment, you do not need to download and install it again. |
Digi Embedded Yocto provides a pre-compiled C/C++ toolchain that matches the default image artifact. You can use it to cross-compile applications to run on Digi embedded platforms, including graphical GTK or Qt6 applications.
To install new Digi Embedded Yocto toolchains in your system, follow these steps:
-
Download the toolchain installer from the Digi support page. (You can also use your own pre-compiled toolchains.)
$ wget https://ftp1.digi.com/support/digiembeddedyocto/4.0/r5/sdk/ccimx8mn-dvk/xwayland/dey-glibc-x86_64-dey-image-qt-xwayland-cortexa53-crypto-ccimx8mn-dvk-toolchain-4.0-r5.sh -
Give execution permission to the installer and install the toolchain on your host PC.
$ chmod +x dey-glibc-x86_64-dey-image-qt-xwayland-cortexa53-crypto-ccimx8mn-dvk-toolchain-4.0-r5.sh $ ./dey-glibc-x86_64-dey-image-qt-xwayland-cortexa53-crypto-ccimx8mn-dvk-toolchain-4.0-r5.sh
