Linux Container Support in Yocto Linux

Dear Team,
We have a following question from customer.
Does G700 support Container Concept on Linux SDK? OLA wants to separate/Isolate ADAS Functions and HMI functions.
[Raj]–>As per my study, Yocto Linux supports container concept by using Docker.
https://mediatek.gitlab.io/aiot/doc/aiot-dev-guide/master/sw/yocto/app-sdk.html#use-with-docker
Could you please confirm whether my understanding is correct or not?

Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,

[Raj]–>As per my study, Yocto Linux supports container concept by using Docker.
Application SDK — IoT Yocto documentation
Could you please confirm whether my understanding is correct or not?

This document is not aiming for running docker in Yocto Linux on the target board. It is describing how to install an app sdk in a docker container running on the build host, so that it can be shared to other developers for developing applications.

Does G700 support Container Concept on Linux SDK? OLA wants to separate/Isolate ADAS Functions and HMI functions.

It’s technically possible to run containers on G700. But we didn’t test it so far. Supporting docker on G700 will involve adding new meta layers, modifying kernel configs, installing new packages, etc., which takes effort.

Currently IOT Yocto doesn’t provide official support for docker, therefore the customer might need to integrate the feature on their own.

Dear Ramax,
Thanks for your clear explanation.

Raj
