Setup

This guide will walk you through setting up your development environment to build meta-pantavisor, a Yocto Project layer for creating Linux-based embedded systems with Pantacor’s containerized update technology. We’ll install the necessary host packages, set up the build tool, and configure your system for our supported Yocto releases.

Prerequisites

Before you can build, you need to configure your host system with the required dependencies.

Supported Yocto Releases

We currently support the following Yocto Project releases:

  • Kirkstone
  • Scarthgap

Please ensure you are using a build environment compatible with these versions.

Yocto Build Host Packages

The Yocto Project requires several packages to be installed on your build host. The specific packages depend on your Linux distribution. Please follow the official Yocto Project documentation for detailed instructions.
