Industrial Edge's Resource Manager has been tested on Debian 11 Bullseye and Debian 12 Bookworm. For Debian 11, make sure to include bullseye-backports in sources.list as explained below. If you want to use the scripts provided by us, follow these instructions:

• Ensure that the Edge Device is switched on and connected to the Internet because some extra dependencies, for example Docker, must be downloaded from public repositories during the installation process.

• Download one of the provided installation scripts:

• x86-64 based device (debian-11-bullseye): Installation script for Debian 11 Bullseye x86-64

• arm64 based device (debian-11-bullseye): Installation script for Debian 11 Bullseye arm64

  NOTICE

  These scripts need to be executed with sudo. You can run them as shown in the example below. If your user is not included in the sudoers file, add it. Alternatively, you can become root using the su - command and directly run the scripts.

  sudo bash install_script_4_debian11-bullseye.sh # x86-64 based devices
  sudo bash install_script_4_debian11-bullseye_arm.sh # arm64 based devices
  

  su -
  bash install_script_4_debian11-bullseye.sh # x86-64 based devices
  bash install_script_4_debian11-bullseye_arm.sh # arm64 based devices
  

• If the CPU plugin is to be installed on the system, the following steps should be taken after running the installation script. These steps will ensure that the base system is real-time capable, a prerequisite for CPU isolation. For more detailed information, see the Resource Manager page.

  # Add bullseye-backports repo
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bullseye-backports.list << EOF
  deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main
  deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main
  EOF
  

  # Update the apt package index
  sudo apt update
  

  # Install linux-image-rt-amd64 and linux-perf from bullseye-backports repo
  sudo apt install -y -t bullseye-backports linux-image-rt-amd64 linux-perf
  

  NOTICE

  If you are using arm64-based Debian 11 Bullseye, you should use the following command instead of the one above.

  # Install linux-image-rt-arm64 and linux-perf from bullseye-backports repo
  sudo apt install -y -t bullseye-backports linux-image-rt-arm64 linux-perf
  

  # Install gawk, python3-linux-procfs, python3-pyudev, virt-what and tuned from bullseye-backports repo
  sudo apt install -y -t bullseye-backports gawk python3-linux-procfs python3-pyudev virt-what tuned
  

  Finally, install the actual plugin for the Resource Manager:

  cd resource-management/packages
  sudo apt install -y ./ie-cpu-resource-plugin_*.deb
  

  NOTICE

  As the kernel is updated with the version from the bullseye-backports repository, it is important to restart the system:

  sudo reboot
  

  After installation and reboot, the `iedge`` tuning profile needs to be activated:

  sudo tuned-adm profile iedge
  

• If the network interface plugin is to be installed on the system, the following steps should be taken after running the installation script.

  cd resource-management/packages
  sudo apt install -y ./ie-docker-network-plugin_*.deb ./ie-network-resource-plugin_*.deb
  

• If you want to install the GPU plugin on your system, the following steps should be taken after running the installation script.

  NOTICE

  For more information, refer to the documentation of the Resource Manager's documentation for device builders.

  cd resource-management/packages
  sudo apt install -y ./ie-nvidia-gpu-resource-plugin_*.deb
  

• If the shared memory plugin is to be installed on the system, the following steps should be taken after running the installation script.

  NOTICE

  For more information, refer to the documentation of the Resource Manager's documentation for device builders.

  cd resource-management/packages
  sudo apt install -y ./ie-shared-memory-resource-plugin_*.deb
  

• If the GPIO plugin is to be installed on the system, the following steps should be taken after running the installation script.

  NOTICE

  For more information, refer to the documentation of the Resource Manager's documentation for device builders

  cd resource-management/packages
  sudo apt install -y ./ie-gpio-resource-plugin_*.deb
