Introduction embedded systems docker
Hi everyone joining the course Introduction to Embedded Systems Software and Development Environments on Coursera. I found that installing VirtualBox according to the suggestion required downloading a large file and setting up the environment. Instead, I am sharing the steps to set up the environment for the course using Docker.
Step 1: Install Docker
Get Docker Desktop
Step 2: Pull and run the Docker image
$ docker run -d ubuntu:22.04 sleep 8640000
Step 3: Access the Docker containe
$ docker container ls
You will see the container ID and the name of the container. Use the container ID to access the container.
| CONTAINER ID | IMAGE | COMMAND | CREATED | STATUS | PORTS | NAMES |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6ec4514d27ee | ubuntu:22.04 | "sleep 864000" | 16 hours ago | Up 16 hours | wizardly_nightingale |
docker exec -it wizardly_nightingale /bin/bash
Step 4: Install the required packages
Now you are inside the container. Install the required packages.
$ apt install build-essential unzip gcc-arm-none-eabi
You are all set to start the course. Enjoy learning!
