Requirements

To install a Digi Embedded Yocto toolchain, you need a development machine with at least:

  • Linux 64-bit system (Ubuntu 20.04)

  • 4 CPU cores

  • 4 GB of RAM

  • Between 3 GB and 10 GB of free disk space, depending on platform

Before starting development for your ConnectCore platform, make sure your device is correctly connected, powered, and running. See Step 2 - Set up the hardware and Step 3 - Program the Yocto firmware.

Download and install the toolchain

If you already installed a toolchain with the Digi Application Development Environment, you do not need to download and install it again.

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 Qt6 applications.
