AM1808 - How to install new packages onto target file system?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM1808, OMAP-L137

Hello all,

I am wondering what is the better way to install new packages onto the am1808 board.

Currently, I have to manually copy 'dpkg' binary and all its associated libraries to the target file system, and manually install all dependencies of 'apt-get' to finally have a working 'apt-get' on the board. Then use 'apt-get' to install new packages.

It's a time consuming process. I am wondering is there any easier way of doing this.

Thank you!

    The method I am using seems to corrupt the file system on the board.  After installing the packages, I always have errors as below the next time I boot up the board.

    I really need your help here. Could someone share how you install new packages to the target file system? 

    Thank you!!

    Probably not the solution your want to hear. I'm using an OMAP-L137 EVM, DVSDK-03.32.00.04 and Arago FS on SD Card. I use opkg to install packages from the Arago repo. The Arago FS does not have dpkg. No problems so far. Maybe you need to do a proper shutdown to sync the FS.

    Hi Norman. Thank you so much!

    You actually pointed me to the right direction. I started working with debian packages initially, so I kind of forgetting that I can still use opkg for non-debian packages.

    EDIT: opkg works with debian packages but just don't work with the packages built for armel.
