Setting A Development Environment
Supported Linux Distributions
The full list of the Linux distributions that are suitable for 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):
For Yocto Krogoth and below, use Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.
For Yocto Morty use either Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 64-bit.
For Yocto Pyro, Rocko, Sumo, Thud and Warrior use Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit.
For Yocto Zeus use Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit.
For Yocto Dunfell, Gatesgarth and Hardknott use either Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 64-bit.
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.
