Setup Overview

To develop ctrlX CORE applications with the ctrlX AUTOMATION SDK we need a so called App Build Environment which is a Ubuntu 20.04 Linux operating system with a special set of software packages installed and certain settings.

• The chapter Quick Start Guide provides the fastest way to create an app with one of the SDKs sample projects.

• In ctrlX WORKS App Build Environment the recommended way creating and running an App Build Environment is described.

• Important Installation Scripts gives an overview of scripts needed to install programming language dependent tools.

• If ctrlX WORKS cannot be used the chapter QEMU Virtual Machine shows how QEMU can be installed as standalone app and how a QEMU VM can be setup as App Build Environment.

• VirtualBox Virtual Machine describes how to setup such a VM to use it as App Build Environment.

• Native Ubuntu shows how to setup a bare-metal machine to use it as App Build Environment.

• Install Sources from github describes how to download and install the github repository ctrlX AUTOMATION Software Development Kit https://github.com/boschrexroth/ctrlx-automation-sdk
