Installing deb packages with the Yocto Project

Hi there,

Hardware:
Colibri iMX6DL
with Viola Carrier Board Rev 1.2
Torizon OS 6.4.0
image

We need to install deb packages (outside the container due to the package installing a daemon service) for an IDS (uEye) Camera.

We have started to follow the “Build Torizon OS from Source With Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded” topic on a Windows (WSL) system

Windows Setup
Steps

  1. Open a command prompt and run the WSL command

  2. $ cd

  3. $ explorer.exe .

  4. Copy the path

  5. Close the (WSL) command prompt

  6. Open a command prompt

  7. docker run --rm -it --name=crops -v \wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\pi\workdir:/workdir --workdir=/workdir -e MACHINE=colibri-imx6 -e IMAGE=kirkstone-6.x.y torizon/crops:kirkstone-6.x.y startup-tdx.sh

The following error is reported…

image
image940×802 135 KB

Checking the following directory…

image
image1525×898 60.6 KB

image
image1007×171 10.1 KB

The reference file “linux-firmware_20230804.bb” seems to be missing

Is there something I’m missing or can check to try and resolve is issue?

Many Thanks Jon

Greetings @jon2023,

This is a known issue that was just recently fixed. But the yocto manifest still points to the old version of the meta-layer that still has the issue. The fix can be seen here: meta-toradex-bsp-common.git - Toradex BSP layer, recipes common to all modules

You can try manually updating the meta-toradex-bsp-common meta-layer to the latest commit so you have this fix in your build.

Best Regards,
Jeremias

in the past i have been able to install the ids camera drivers for etherent ids cam directly in a container by running it in privileged and with net host

docker run -it --privileged --net=host

I was using ueye_4.93.0.986 arm64 drivers. this was in older torizon version 5.4
below is the dockerfile of the container

FROM torizon/arm64v8-debian-base:buster 
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get install -y \
    dialog

entry point script where the ids daemon is started. I only needed the ids ethernet service
