SK-AM62: How to do the apt get in Sitara Linux?

Hi Rio,

Customer needs to do the "apt install" in TI Linux on AM62.

Please guide us how to do this?

The Advanced Package Tool ('apt') is the package management system used in Debian-based distribution. It is not available in the context of our Arago-based TI SDKs (unless you run our Docker image, and a Debian distribution on top of it). But I suppose you want to run something natively rather than Docker so I'm not going into this deeper right now.

ps. I know Debian might be released during Q3, but it's too late.

If you can't wait for the official TI Debian offering to arrive you could get started today using the BeaglePlay community board. It is AM62x-based, uses a Debian-based distribution, and the 'apt' tool should work right out of the box. Please see https://beagleboard.org/play   With some changes (mostly device tree I suspect) you might be able to even port this to an SK-AM62 board and get it to work.

What is the intended use here? To productize something, or for testing/evaluation? If the latter the BeaglePlay board might just do the trick for the time being.
