Package Management - 2021.2 English

PetaLinux supports package management system for Zynq-7000, Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, and Versal® devices. Use the following steps to configure and use the package management system:

Figure 1. Package Management

1. Enable DNF through petalinux-config -c rootfs. Enable the following configs to use DNF.
   • Image Features > [*] package management
   • Set the base package feed url in Image features > package-management > package-feed-uris.

   • Set the package feed architecture in Image features > package management > package-feed-archs.
     Note: From 2021.1, specifying package-feed-uris and package-feed-archs is optional. PetaLinux or Yocto set the uris and set the archs based on the project.

     The possible archs are available in http://petalinux.xilinx.com/sswreleases/rel-v2021.2/generic/rpm

2. Build the project.

   #petalinux-build

3. Boot Linux in SD or in JTAG boot mode.
4. Check for .repo file on target in /etc/yum.repos.d/ as shown below.
