Embedded Linux Build Profiles reference

Build profiles let you create custom build configurations for the Embedded Linux platform. To create and manage a build profile for Embedded Linux, refer to Create a build profile. For more information on build profiles, refer to Introduction to build profiles.

Property Description
Architecture Choose the CPU architecture to build for the Embedded Linux platform.
x64 64-bit CPU
arm64 64-bit ARM CPU
Remote Device Deploy and launch the app to a connected device on a remote device based on the connection and authentication information you provide.
Address (required) The address of the remote device. You can also specify a port by adding a colon after the address (for example, 10.110.91.3:2121).
Username (optional) The user name on the remote device.
Exports Specify the additional exports, if they’re required to launch the device remotely. Multiple environment variables are separated by a space. For example, ENV_VAR1=1 ENV_VAR2=2.
Install Path The installation path for the application. If not set, the default value ~tmp/unity/test will be used.
Development Build Include scripting debug symbols and the ProfilerA window that helps you to optimize your game. It shows how much time is spent in the various areas of your game. For example, it can report the percentage of time spent rendering, animating, or in your game logic. More info

in your build. Use this setting when you want to test your application. When you select this option, Unity sets the DEVELOPMENT_BUILD scripting define symbol. Your build then includes preprocessor directives that set DEVELOPMENT_BUILD as a condition.

For more information, refer to Platform dependent compilation.
Autoconnect Profiler Automatically connect the Unity Profiler to your build. For more information, refer to Profiler.

Note: This option is available only if you select Development Build.
Deep Profiling Allow the Profiler to process all your script code and record every function call, returning detailed profiling data. For more information, refer to Deep Profiling.

This property is available only if you enable Development Build.

Note: Enabling Deep Profiling might slow down script execution.
Script Debugging Attach script debuggers to the Player remotely.

This property is available only if you enable Development Build.
Wait for Managed Debugger Make the Player wait for a debugger to be attached before it executes any script code.

This property is visible only if you enable Script Debugging.
Managed Debugger Fixed Port Choose the port for the managed debugger to use to listen to connections.

This property is available only if you enable Script Debugging.
Compression Method Specifies the method Unity uses to compress the data in your Project when it builds the Player. This includes AssetsAny media or data that can be used in your game or project. An asset may come from a file created outside of Unity, such as a 3D Model, an audio file or an image. You can also create some asset types in Unity, such as an Animator Controller, an Audio Mixer or a Render Texture. More info

, ScenesA Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. More info
See in Glossary
, Player settingsSettings that let you set various player-specific options for the final game built by Unity. More info

, and GI data.
Default On Windows, Mac, Linux Standalone, and iOS, there is no default compression.

On Android, the default compression is ZIP, which gives slightly better compression results than LZ4HC. However, ZIP data is slower to decompress.
LZ4 A fast compression format that is useful for development builds. For more information, refer to BuildOptions.CompressWithLz4.
LZ4HC A high compression variant of LZ4 that is slower to build but produces better results for release builds. For more information, refer to BuildOptions.CompressWithLz4HC.
