Installing Window Manager on i.MX8 & Core i7¶

Window Manager can be installed on the target in two different ways.

RAUC bundle¶

For production use the Window Manager should be installed on the target using a RAUC bundle.
Reference the CC Linux - Using RAUC documentation on the support web site for more information about how to generate a RAUC bundle.

Installing Window Manger manually for development/testing¶

During development or testing of the Window Manager it can be installed on the target by unlocking appfs and manually installing it by unpacking the tarball, tar.gz, under appfs.

Unlock /appfs for development/testing¶

Open an ssh session to the target: ssh ccs<ip-address>
Change write permissions of /appfs: sudo mount -o remount,rw /appfs
Check which version partition /appfs is mounted to: rauc status
Unmount /appfs: sudo umount /appfs
Format the partition: sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/<partition>
Remount /appfs: sudo mount /dev/<partition> /appfs

Unpacking tarball¶

Download the tarball, window-manager-ccl4x_1.0.0_<TARGET>.tar.gz, from the support site under: Software & Solution -> Window Manager -> Downloads -> Device module -> <TARGET>
Transfer the tar.gz package to device: scp window-manager-ccl4x_1.0.0_<TARGET>.tar.gz ccs@<ip-address>:/tmp
Open an ssh session to the target: ssh ccs@<ip-address>
Change directory to /tmp: cd /tmp
Run the following code to unpack it: sudo tar xzf window-manager-ccl4x_1.0.0_<TARGET>.tar.gz -C /appfs
Window Manager will not automatically start at boot. See Getting Started Guide.
