What is the simplest way to install 3rd party util on the STM32MP157A kit?

[PPasy.1]

Hi everyone.

I have a STM32MP157A-DK1 with a developer package. My goal is to install iperf. But I'm not familiar with OpenSTLinux and Yocto. Apt-get and dpkg do not allow to install iperf.

What is the simplest way to install 3rd party util (iperf in my case) on the STM32MP157A kit?

Thanks in advance.

I managed to do it with help of dpkg - iperf works despite of error message during the installation process

Hi @PPasy.1​ 

Good to know you managed to do it.

FYI a proper way to install iperf from Distribution package, would have been to add the official Open Embedded layer "meta-arago-extras" to your build environnement.

http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layer/meta-arago-extras/

Hope it help,
