Re: Virtualization of UP development

 

Hi all

I agree! Now I have SDK installed and it works. But some time ago I got my
SDK broken because of LXD. Something went wrong and I was unable to figure
out what exactly.
I think that UP development must be simplified in some ways
(virtualization, easier installation, etc).

BR,
Roman.
