IOT2020 / IOT2040: How Towards build Iot2000 image without Communication System

Hi,
I installed kas and  try to build an Iot200 image using IoT2000-example source packages
Open_Source_Software_V2.2.0.zip (1,4 GB)
.
In the process of building, it need to keep online for download meta-layer and recipes.
Unfortunately my network is volatile and it doesn't able to complete the whole process.
I found that the source package already includes the required build tools and all the recipe files.
How can I use these resources to build a image without  network?
Thank you

Building IoT2000 Image Offline with Pre-Downloaded Resources

You're right to suspect you can build offline given the included resources! Here's how to proceed:

  1. Utilize the 'kas' Offline Build Functionality: The Key Account Manager (KAS) supports offline builds when all necessary components are present locally. Since you've downloaded Open_Source_Software_V2.2.0.zip, you have the meta-layers and recipes.
  2. Set up a Local Repository: Extract the contents of Open_Source_Software_V2.2.0.zip. This creates the local repository.
  3. Configure KAS to Use Local Repository: When starting the build process in KAS, specify the extracted folder as the source for the meta-layers and recipes instead of relying on online downloads. This typically involves setting environment variables or using KAS command-line options to point to the local directory.
  4. Check for Missing Dependencies: While the package is comprehensive, occasionally a very specific dependency might be missing. Review the build logs carefully for any errors related to unavailable packages. If you encounter this, you'll need to identify and manually download/stage that specific dependency before retrying the offline build.

For detailed instructions and troubleshooting, please refer to the SIMATIC IOT2000 SD-Card example image documentation. This document provides guidance on image creation and may contain specific steps for offline builds.

If you continue to encounter issues, please provide the specific error messages from the build log for further assistance.
