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 | |
