Hello there!

It sounds like you’re encountering an ‘exec format error,’ which often happens when there’s an architecture mismatch—essentially trying to run a binary built for one architecture on a different one. Let’s go through some steps to help you resolve this issue:

  1. Configure Your Build Environment:

    • Ensure your build environment is set up correctly for Torizon containers. You can follow the initial setup guide here: Torizon Quickstart Guide.
  2. Package Installation Tips:

    • Always update your package list first using apt-get update.
    • When installing packages, specify the correct architecture to avoid mismatches. More details can be found here: Community Discussion on Package Issues.
    • After installation, clean up with apt-get clean && apt-get autoremove to keep your environment tidy.
  3. Using Visual Studio Code:

    • Make sure you have Visual Studio Code installed along with the Torizon extension and the Remote Containers extension from Microsoft. This setup is crucial for a smooth development experience. Here’s a helpful blog post: Importing Qt Project into Torizon.
  4. Troubleshooting Persistent Issues:

    • Try restarting the Docker daemon on your host machine if problems continue.
    • If you’re using Windows, you might need to run wsl --shutdown in PowerShell with administrative privileges. More troubleshooting tips are available here: Torizon FAQ.

I hope these steps help you get back on track! If you have more details about your development environment or target architecture, feel free to share, and I can provide more tailored advice.

Best regards,
