    Hi @pavanTester​ 

    Sorry for late reply, your post was not tagged with correct topic.

    OpenSTLinux can not support debian package installation with apt-get.

    You should use Yocto build mechanism of the Distribution package to add the needed packages with layers.

    Please refer to :

    https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32MP1_Distribution_Package

    Note that st-image-weston image already contains the meta-oe layer containing opencv package.

    And also meta-python layer containing many python3 package.

    https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layer/meta-python/

    https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layer/meta-oe/

    Hope it help
