Hello!

To run QGroundControl on your Verdin iMX8M Plus module with the aarch64 architecture, it seems you’re encountering an issue with adding a Flatpak repository due to invalid compressed data. Let’s go through some steps to help you resolve this:

  1. Check Your Network Connection: Ensure that your device is connected to a stable internet network, as connectivity issues can sometimes lead to problems with downloading repository data.

  2. Verify the Repository URL: Double-check the URL you are using to add the Flatpak repository. Make sure there are no typos and that the URL is correct.

  3. Update Flatpak: It’s important to have the latest version of Flatpak. You can update it by running the following commands:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak

  4. Clear the Flatpak Cache: Clearing the cache can sometimes fix issues with repository data. You can do this by executing:

    flatpak uninstall --unused
flatpak repair

  5. Consider an Alternative Installation Method: If the problem persists, you might want to try an alternative method to install QGroundControl. The AppImage version of QGroundControl is a standalone executable that doesn’t require Flatpak. Ensure your system has the necessary permissions to execute AppImage files.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue with the Flatpak repository and proceed with installing QGroundControl on your device.

Hi @Abdullah, sorry for the late reply

Was the answer from @ToradexAI enough for you to install the QGroundControl?
