Which package is suited for my project?

[SigmaPrime]

Hello

I am working on an IoT project and would like to know which package is suitable for me? I am responsible for customizing the Linux tree, installing packages, set Ethernet, Wi-Fi and the right security protocols from a Hardware point of view.

I used to work with other distributions and use the "make menuconfig" and make linux-menuconfig" to choose everything I need.

I installed the Starter Package but it is empty and I don't know how to proceed.

Can someone tell me if I installed the wrong distribution?

Using a VM slows my laptop that's why I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS under WSL2

Best regards

Hi @SigmaPrime​ ,

I think the following wiki article could help : "Which STM32MPU Embedded Software Package better suits your needs ?".

Hello

Yes I've read that.

But my question is more like: how do I install new packages and how do I configure the Linux tree?

most distros use the "make menuconfig" and "make linux-menuconfig to customize the image before building it. That's what I want.

@SigmaPrime​ ,

Could you please elaborate a bit more about what is a "package" for you ?

To configure the kernel, "make menuconfig" is the right command : The wiki page Menuconfig or how to configure kernel could help you.

Several HOWTO are available under the two following categories:

• How to build software
• How to customize software

Packages: "make", "curl", "wget" "sensor" ... These commands for example.

Kernel Tree: Where you activate firmware, drivers, etc...

I used Buildroot Distro before Yocto and before flashing and making my image I had the possibility to choose which commands, drivers, target packages to use.

• Commands, target packages, Hardware handling, Network through the "menuconfig"
• the drivers and firmware through "linux-menuconfig" (Kernel configuration)

An Image is provided to see the interface I am talking about. I don't know much about Yocto.

In ubuntu, you could use sudo apt-install .... to install packages to use specific commands and you could also go through the kernel configuration

I hope that it is clearer now.

Thank you
