System

If you’re installing the development environment and application framework on a development host, recommended system requirements for the Ubuntu desktop is at least 768 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk space.

Ubuntu version 12.04 is officially supported, although you can try others (e.g., 14.04).

If you’re downloading Legato source and toolchain files, you’ll need a minimum Internet connection speed of 4 Mpbs.

Dev Host

Different options are available for development host PCs depending on needs. You can build, install, and work with Legato entirely from a Linux dev host, but target device recovery is only possible from Windows at this time. See Windows Dev Host.

Linux vs Windows tasks:

Linux dev host is used to compile system software, flash Linux images, develop and debug applications.

Windows Host is used to flash Linux images, flash new modem firmware, recover device.

Target Requirements

Legato uses the AirPrime – AR and WP Series-Development Kit.
