Through 2015 until the end of the year, official releases will
continue to be done on theYoctoProject layers for i.MX and
QorIQused so far(meta-fsl-bsp-release, meta-fsl-arm, and
meta-fsl-ppc). For the new meta-freescalelayer, releases will
be performed on a monthly basis, addingbugfixesas well as updates from
the meta-fsl-arm and meta-fsl-ppclayers.
At the end of the year, when meta-freescaleis stable, meta-fsl-arm and
meta-fsl-ppcwill be deprecated and only
meta-freescalewill be used for Freescale releases.
Hi Lauren and others,
Can you please provide an update on FSL's / NXP's plans to maintain
repos with the latest patches for QorIQ Power and ARM when working with
the Yocto/Poky master branches?
I'm aware of three repo locations:
1) meta-fsl-arm and mets-fsl-ppc on yoctoproject.org: both master
branches have been updated in the past couple of weeks. It seems that
these were not deprecated as planned.
2) meta-freescale on freescale.com. The fido_freescale_qoriq_sdk_v1.9
branch looks like it was used to stage SDK1.9, and it also received some
additional commits beyond the SDK. However, it hasn't received any
patches this year.
3) meta-freescale on github.com/Freescale ( community site ). This is
an active repo, but I think it has fallen behind with QorIQ-related
patches.
Are there other repos where NXP / FSL are posting patches?
Please let us know how the Freescale QorIQ developers plan to use
particular repos moving forward. Or in other words, if I'm building
QorIQ Power and LS1 ARM based Yocto images using master branches on
yoctoproject.org, which QorIQ repos and branches should I be using &
patching?
Could we also get an update on when we'll see QorIQ kernel recipes for a
4.x kernel ( looks like both linux-ls1 and linux-qoriq are still at 3.12)?
Thank you,
Bob
The first beta release of meta-freescale on the
branch*transition_beta1* is available now on git.freescale.com [1].
This release gathers
all of meta-fsl-arm andQorIQSDK 1.7 into one layer, including
allgithistory, and includes the release branch *fido_freescale*
based on the FSL Community BSP 1.8fidobranch [2]. Detailed information
about each release is available in the README [3].
The second beta release will be at the end of July and will add
support for i.MX 7Dual, i.MX 6UltraLite and i.MX 6QuadPlus,
as well asQorIQSDK 1.8.
We look forward to feedback from the community to help build a
betterYoctoProject environment.
Instructions to download the manifest are in the README link below.
