Hello,

Is there a clean Debian image available for the IOT2050?  I notice the example image is preloaded with some applications including Node-Red.  I would like to start with a clean basic image if possible.

Cheers,

Paul.

You can either take the released image and start running "apt remove <unneeded packages>", or you create your own image from https://github.com/siemens/meta-iot2050, ideally by putting a custom layer on top of that (rather than forking meta-iot2050).

For the latter, you should then override the package set defined in https://github.com/siemens/meta-iot2050/blob/master/recipes-core/images/iot2050-image-example.bb. Note that you do not want to remove all of them (e.g. by only building the target "iot2050-image-base") because then you have no network. I just realized that those networking packages are not factored out properly.
