4 Software Overview
This chapter provides instructions for compiling and deploying the BSP (Board Support Package) software to the uQ7 module.
4.1 Supported Distributions
Two of the most popular embedded systems distributions are supported. The following chapters describe how to build a disk
image for each of them:
• Debian: Section 5 Debian image guide
• Yocto: Section 6 Building a Yocto image
4.2 Compiling Linux Applications
The easiest option is to compile your applications directly on a module running Debian. Install the gcc package and related
utilities and you are good to go:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
The second option is to cross-compile your applications on a host PC. The compiler that was installed in Section 5.1 Prepare
the host PC is suitable.
