3.1 LS1028A BSP Quick Start
3.1.1 Introduction
The following sections describe the procedure to download and assemble BSP images and then to deploy these images on to

Host system requirements
• Ubuntu 18.04 should be installed on the host machine.
• If this requirement is not fulfilled, see “Emulate Ubuntu 18.04 environment using Docker container” topic below.
• For root users, there is no limitation for the build. For non-root users, obtain sudo permission by running the command
sudoedit /etc/sudoers and adding a line <user-account-name> ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL in /etc/sudoers.
• To build the target Ubuntu userland for arm64/armhf arch, the user's network environment must have access to the remote
Ubuntu official server.
Emulate Ubuntu 18.04 environment using Docker container (optional)
If a Linux distribution other than Ubuntu 18.04 is installed on the host machine, perform the following steps to create an Ubuntu
18.04 Docker container to emulate the environment.
• Install Docker on the host machine. See https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/ for information on how to install Docker
on the host machine.
• To build the Ubuntu userland, the user must have sudo permission for Docker commands or the user must be added to a
group called “ docker” as specified below.
Change current group to “ docker”
$ sudo newgrp – docker
User can run the command cut -d: -f1 /etc/group | sort to check if docker group is included in the list
of all the available groups.
NOTE
Add your account to “ docker” group
$ sudo usermod -aG docker <accountname>
$ sudo gpasswd –a <accountname> docker
