75xx OpenEmbedded Installing Software

We have included opkg in the distribution which can download additional packages from the repository hosted on our FTP. To install or search packages, you must first connect to the internet and run:

opkg update

This will download the package lists and descriptions from the FTP. You can then search for packages using:

# Search by package name
opkg list-all | grep nameorregex

# Search by file.  For example, to find the package
# that provides /usr/bin/java, you would search for either the full path, or *java:
opkg search *java
