Hi @joe306 

Refer to UG1144 ---> Local Mirror Servers

Reference Steps:

1. Download and unpack sstate-cache and downloads repo from xilinx.com

2. Source Mirrors

petalinux-config -> Yocto-settings -> Add pre-mirror URL. file:///<sstate path>/downloads

3. de-select petalinux-config -> Yocto Settings -> Enable Network sstate feeds

4. Select petalinux-config ---> Yocto Settings ---> [*] Enable BB NO NETWORK

5. Sstate Feeds

petalinux-config -> Yocto Settings -> Local sstate feeds settings and enter the full path of the sstate directory

Hello, what version of Ubuntu should I use?

Hi @joe306,

The compatible Ubuntu version for a petalinux is based on which version of the petalinux you are using.
You can refer to UG1144, it will clear all your queries.

In UG1144 chapter 2 is about the installation of petalinux.

The below link is petalinux 2019.2 UG.
