1. /meta-swi/meta-swi-mdm9x28/recipes-core/images/mdm9x28-image.inc add the following line: IMAGE\_INSTALL\_append = " python3" 2. /meta-swi/meta-swi-mdm9x28/conf/machine/swi-mdm9x28.conf change UBI\_ROOTFS\_SIZE ?= “48MiB” I have done the above but it was error. But if I delete the adding line ,It did not have the error.

this file is for python, doesn’t for python3 right? But python is already can use, why I have to build yocto with python-boto\_2.34.0.bb file?? ---

this is for boto usage for python: > [@Installing Boto3 onn AirPrime WP7702](https://forum.sierrawireless.com/t/installing-boto3-onn-airprime-wp7702/18683/14): > > Thanks for your head up. Unfortunately the /usr/lib/python2.7 directory is the read-only file system; system is not allowed to copy your python there. Any clue to run from the SD card with your python? Errors … … cp: can’t create ‘/user/lib/python2.7/zipfile.pyc’: Read-only file system I said the idea is the same for building the library and running it in RAM area but not in yocto image. ---
