Setting A Development Environment

Supported Linux Distributions

The full list of the Linux distributions that are suitable for the latest Yocto Project development is referenced here.

We recommend using Ubuntu 64-bit on a powerful physical PC (though using a virtual machine is also possible).

Please see the table below for a list of Ubuntu versions recommended for each release of the Yocto project:

Ubuntu 14.04 Ubuntu 16.04 Ubuntu 18.04 Ubuntu 20.04 Ubuntu 22.04
Yocto Krogoth (or earlier) x
Yocto Morty x x
Yocto Pyro x
Yocto Rocko x
Yocto Sumo x
Yocto Thud x
Yocto Warrior x
Yocto Zeus x
Yocto Dunfell x x
Yocto Gatesgarth x x
Yocto Hardknott x x
Yocto Kirkstone x x x

Installing Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit in VMWare Player (for Yocto Morty and below)

There are many tutorials on the web. For example:

Installing Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit in VMWare Player (for Yocto Morty through Warrior)

There are many tutorials on the web. For example:

VMware player recommended settings

  • Set the number of CPUs to the maximum possible.
  • Set the memory size to at least 8GB.
  • Set the disk size to be at least 200GB. 300GB is better.
  • Use Bridge for networking.
  • Install the VMWare tools.
  • If you have an extra hard drive you can use it as a physical partition and set you home directory to it.
  • Update Ubuntu right after the first login.

Using a docker container

Variscite provides Docker containers that can be used for a development environment as an alternative to using a virtual machine or a dedicated computer.

To learn more, please see Variscite's Docker Build Environment guide.
