EMBEDDED LINUX
CARRIER BOARD: IRIS CARRIER BOARD V1.1A (COLIBRI IMX6ULL 521MB IT)

I’m using an Iris Carrier Board to program with Qt creator. However, due to the issue, I need to install rsync because the project doesn’t recognize the connection between the board (remote device) and my computer (host). This error appeared when the device was added, even though I had SSH activated.

“rsync” failed with exit code 127: Warning: Identity file not accessible: No such file or directory.
sh: line 1: rsync: command not found
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]
rsync error: remote command not found (code 127) at io.c(231) [Receiver=3.2.7]

I installed the rsync on my computer, and I tried to do the same on the board by converting the .deb file into a .ipk file using the “ar” command.

rsync_3.2.3_all.ipk
The .ipk file contains the following: debian-binary, the executable rsync, and two .gz files: control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz

I uploaded the file using SSH.
scp program user@remote_device_IP:/home/

The file was successfully added to the board, but when I used the following command “opkg install”, it failed to extract.
root@colibri-imx6ull-#######:/home# opkg install rsync_3.2.3_all.ipk

pkg_extract_control_file_to_stream: Failed to extract control file from package
‘rsync_3.2.3_all.ipk’.
pkg_init_from_file: Failed to extract control file from rsync_3.2.3_all.ipk.

I would like some help to correct this issue, as I’m new at embedded systems.
I appreciate your help in advance!
