I am trying to make an extra config JSON file for the SDK Manager. I’ve been reading the docs very carefully, which told me to find the file sdkml3_jetpack_62.json and use it’s “components” section as a template for adding extra configs to my “sw” section in my extra config file.
I then started the sdk manager with it (sdkmanager --extra-config ), but with no success. I don’t see anything ‘extra’ on page 2 in the component list.
Hi Chris,
For extra-config solution, you are only allow to overwrite existing component, but not adding a new one. Just need to use the same ID and key of that component, you can customize the rest, adding extra steps in install or postInstall fields and so on. Sdkmanager then would pickup the one in extra config file and overwrite the one in orinigal json.
If you need to add a new component, you will need to host your own manifest files with below instruction. Which is much harder to do.
Thanks I will give that a try.
Meanwhile, you should update the documentation with exactly what you told me.
The docs are pretty sparse, and bare bones, and barely helpful.
