OPKG for ubuntu running on Beaglebone bBack

Hi all,

I am using Ubuntu14.04 running on beaglebone black.
I wanted “opkg” to be installed on it. But I am not finding a correct website or repository to download it.

I tried to download the opkg from the website “http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/opkg/”. But it installed opkg-cl and opkg-key not the opkg.

Can anyone please help me to download the opkg into ubuntu running on beaglebone black.

Thank you.

Demo Image- These demonstration images contain a custom Mainline based kernel with experimental enhancements to the boards supported. They are usually updated about once a month, as new features/enhancements get added by the community. Currently, this image ships with two kernels “armv7” which is for mainline omap3+ devices (BeagleBoard/PandaBoard) and the “bone” which is specifically for the BeagleBone. The kernel is stress-tested by a farm of Panda/Beagles running 24/7 under a heavy load (building gcc trunk/mainline kernel).

If you don’t know the location of your SD card:

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --probe-mmc

You should see something like:

Are you sure? I don't see [/dev/idontknow], here is what I do see...

fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes **<- x86 Root Drive**
Disk /dev/sdd: 3957 MB, 3957325824 bytes **<- MMC/SD card**

lsblk:
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0 446.9G  0 part /  **<- x86 Root Partition**
├─sda2   8:2    0     1K  0 part 
└─sda5   8:5    0  18.9G  0 part [SWAP]
sdd      8:48   1   3.7G  0 disk 
├─sdd1   8:49   1    64M  0 part 
└─sdd2   8:50   1   3.6G  0 part
  • In this example, we can see via mount, /dev/sda1 is the x86 rootfs, therefore /dev/sdd is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./setup_sdcard.sh…

Install Image:

Quick install script for [board]

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb board

board options:

  • BeagleBoard Ax/Bx/Cx/Dx - omap3-beagle
  • BeagleBoard xM - omap3-beagle-xm
  • BeagleBone/Black - beaglebone
  • OMAP5432 uEVM - omap5-uevm

So for the BeagleBoard xM:

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb omap3-beagle-xm

Advanced: Build Image:

Built with a fork of project-rootstock (ARM native mode, runs directly on BeagleBoard), using a script from omap-image-builder:

git clone [https://github.com/RobertCNelson/omap-image-builder.git](https://github.com/RobertCNelson/omap-image-builder.git)
cd omap-image-builder
git checkout v2014.06 -b tmp

Stable:

./RootStock-NG.sh -c rcn-ee_console_ubuntu_stable_armhf

Testing:

./RootStock-NG.sh -c rcn-ee_console_ubuntu_testing_armhf

Enjoy...

Hi,

I already have a running ubuntu OS image on Beaglebone Black.
I need help in downloading and installing the “opkg” software on the beaglebone black.

Are you sure you are specifying the right packages?
Distros use different package names - there is no qt4-embedded in Ubuntu.

There are many packages, the main base package is qt4-default.
You can see all that are available using "apt-cache search qt4 | less".
