Hello all

I did not find text editor in Petalinux.
How to set them?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Try /usr/bin

vi should be there

you can add nano with petalinux-config -c rootfs

NOTE: If you edit files in initramfs on reboot all changes will be lost

Hi @Victor,

This isn't specifically for the Nano text editor, but this Xilinx forum thread should be of help to you: https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Embedded-Linux/How-to-add-applications-to-petalinux/td-p/490012.

Thanks,

Hi @ JColvin

Thank you,

Best regards,

I had this issue also (and hate vi)...

I found the recipie for nano in <PentaLinux project directory>/components/yocto/layers/meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipies-support/nano. I was able to add nano to my rootfs by doing the following.

Edit your <PentaLinux project directory>/project-spec/meta-user/conf/user-rootfsconfig and add:

CONFIG_nano

Then do:

$ petalinux-config -c rootfs

And enable nano under user packages. Then rebuild and package petalinux for your board.

There may be another way but that worked for me.
