4 GB of RAM
-
Between 2 GB and 10 GB of free disk space, depending on platform

Download and install the toolchain
Digi Embedded Yocto provides a pre-compiled C/C++ toolchain that matches the default image artifact. You can use it to cross-compile applications to run on Digi embedded platforms, including graphical GTK or QT5 applications.
To install new Digi Embedded Yocto toolchains in your system, follow these steps:
-
Download the toolchain installer from the Digi support page. (You can also use your own pre-compiled toolchains.)
wget https://ftp1.digi.com/support/digiembeddedyocto/2.4/r3/sdk/ccimx6qpsbc/x11/dey-glibc-x86_64-dey-image-qt-x11-cortexa9hf-neon-toolchain-2.4-r3.sh -
Give execution permission to the installer and install the toolchain on your host PC.
~> chmod +x dey-glibc-x86_64-dey-image-qt-x11-cortexa9hf-neon-toolchain-2.4-r3.sh ~> ./dey-glibc-x86_64-dey-image-qt-x11-cortexa9hf-neon-toolchain-2.4-r3.sh
