Package Management - 2024.2 English - UG1144

PetaLinux supports package management system forZynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, and AMD Versal™ devices. Use the following steps to configure and use the package management system:

1. Enable DNF through petalinux-config -c rootfs. Enable the following configs to use DNF.
   • Image Features > [*] package management
   • No need to set the base package feed url in Image features > package-management > package-feed-uris.
   • No need to set the package feed architecture in Image features > package management > package-feed-archs.

     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 https://petalinux.xilinx.com/sswreleases/rel-v2024/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 follows:
