    I would like to install MySQL on my MTCDT-LVW2-210A-US, one of the AEP models. But when I run opkg update, it trys to download mliunx feeds. When I run “opkg install mysql-server, it gave me the following error:
    Unknown package ‘mysql-server’.
    Collected errors:
    * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package mysql-server.

    My questions are: 1) does AEP model also uses opkg package management?
    2) is MySQL installation error related to opkg? If not, I need to check with IT on potential firewall issue.

    AEP is built using mLinux, the opkg utility will pull from the mLinux version feed directory.

    There is no mysql-server package in the feeds. There are mysql client libraries to use for applications connecting to remote mysql servers.

    A MySQL package to install in mLinux can be created using bitbake with the correct openembedded recipies.

    Thanks. I don’t believe bitbake is included in my conduit. When I type “which bitable”, nothing showed up.

    It is not on Conduit, it is a build tool used on a PC to cross-compile images for use on the Conduit.

    SQLite is a database used on Conduit for some applications, you may have better success than using MySQL depending on your use case.

    In general MySQL is a feature rich SQL server implementation beyond the needs of most embedded applications.

    Then would you please point me the steps to enable SQLite on my AEP conduit? Thanks.

    That depends on your development language.
