Adding applications petalinux

I have a microzed board based on the xilinx 7000 series with petalinux OS installed and configured on it. There are compilers and support for C/C++ applications. However, how do I add and get applications like PERL/python compilers and scripts working on this OS ?

You can enable quite a few packages using:

petalinux-config -c rootfs

Or you can manually create Petalinux "component" by using appropriate command(you will have to create/copy sources and/or binaries into component directory and create petalinux component Makefile):

petalinux-create -t apps -n settings --enable

petalinux-create -t libs -n settings --enable

But be aware that Petalinux targeting embedded environments with total image sizes below 40Mb. So at some point it makes more sense to switch to something like "linaro" distribution, which will allow you to use Ubuntu apt-get.

I put up the process of cross compiling Python 2.7.3 into a PetaLinux app.

Please check:
