3.1 Yocto Project Deployment Strategy

As illustrated above, there are multiple approaches to deploying the OCPP v1.6 application on the SAMA5D27-WLSOM1 platform using the Yocto Project:

• Using an IPK software package (.ipk), a lightweight package format used in embedded Linux® environments, installed on the target device.
• Using an out-of-tree build, which corresponds to the build of the software.
• Using a full Yocto Project build, which builds both the application and the entire OS image.

Both the IPK and the out-of-tree build options require an initial Linux image to be running on the target.

This Quick Start Guide focuses on the IPK approach, as it is the fastest way to deploy the OCPP application.
