Venus OS install tcpdump

Anyone know how I can install tcpdump on my Victron CCGX running VenusOS.

I've tried with opkg install <localfile> but it keeps failing with "does not have a compatible architecture".

I think I've tried every variant of processor architecture that exists!

Any ideas?

Isn't the CCGX an einstein board? You would need something compatible with the embedded architecture, I am sure someone here can confirm.

I can confirm it is not an Einstein board.

This should do the job:

/opt/victronenergy/swupdate-scripts/resize2fs.sh
# Note: the next line is only needed when not running a release, candidate is just an example. It should match with the firmware kind you are running.
/opt/victronenergy/swupdate-scripts/set-feed.sh candidate
opkg update
opkg install tcpdump

The architecture doesn't matter, the device will know it itself. It is a cortexa8 in case you wonder.

Thanks @Jeroen. I persevered with this and eventually found that I had to install from ......

I managed to get tcpdump and it's dependencies.

yes, but if you use the package manager (opkg), you don't have to care where it is downloaded from. It will just get installed if you ask for it.
