Hello!

For developing with Torizon on Toradex hardware, I recommend using the Torizon IDE Extension templates. These templates simplify the setup of a cross-compilation environment by automatically managing the necessary configurations. They utilize Debian-based containers and allow for easy package management through the torizonPackages.json file.

To add your required packages, you can modify the torizonPackages.json file in the following sections:

  • buildDeps: For build/compilation container images
  • devRuntimeDeps: For runtime development/debug container
  • prodRuntimeDeps: For runtime production/release container

The IDE Extension also supports autocompletion for Debian and Toradex feed packages within this file.

For cross-compilation, ensure your Docker environment is properly configured and ARM emulation is enabled. You can enable ARM emulation by executing the following command:

docker run --rm -it --privileged torizon/binfmt

When dealing with dependencies, such as Qt, it’s advisable to use the package management features of torizonPackages.json rather than manually altering Dockerfiles.

If you need more detailed guidance on setting up a project using the Torizon IDE Extension templates, feel free to ask!
