VM file

[sintian]

Can you provide the VM file to compile the image?(e.g. Imgpico-imx6_pico-nymph_ubuntu-18.04_sdcard-preview_qca9377_hdmi-1280x720_20181127.img) Thank you!

Hi, @sintian

TechNexion starts to provide build environment from ubuntu 20.04. (It's unavailable for ubuntu 18.04.)

Please refer to the user guide for building ubuntu 20.04: https://github.com/TechNexion-customization/ubuntu-tn-imx/blob/master/README-imx6.md#imx6imx7-platforms-for-ubuntu-2004-with-x11-framework

You can download the VM to avoid installing ubuntu 20.04 on host machine. (But it still needs to follows the steps above to install all required packages for building ubuntu) https://download.technexion.com/development_resources/development_tools/vm/Build_Env_Ubuntu_x64_20.04-20201030.zip

Hi @richard-hu Due to the limitation of my computer's specifications, the VM runs very slowly. Do you know how to transfer the VM to the server for use? Thanks!

Hi, @sintian :

If your server runs Linux environment, I suggest to use Docker instead of VM on server. It gets better performance.

Please refer to https://github.com/TechNexion/meta-tn-imx-bsp/blob/zeus_5.4.70-2.3.0-stable/tools/container/dockerfile

The dockerfile is based on ubuntu 16.04 instead of ubuntu 20.04. For your need, it needs to tweak the dockerfile a little bit and install additional packages required by creating ubuntu 20.04: https://github.com/TechNexion-customization/ubuntu-tn-imx/blob/master/README-imx6.md#compiling-environment-setup
