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?
*/[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] we are working on the transfer from
meta-fsl-arm/ppc to meta-freescale currently, the goal is to finish
the transfer for Yocto 2.2 release. /*
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?
*/[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] meta-freescale replaced meta-fsl-arn/ppc since
QorIQ SDK 1.9, that’s why you can see fido_freescale_qoriq_sdk_v1.9
branch in git.freescale.com. The QorIQ SDK release will be upstreamed
to both meta-fsl-arm/ppc(git.yoctoproject.org) and
meta-freescale(github.com) until meta-freescale replaces
meta-fsl-arm/ppc completely. /*
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?
*/[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] QorIQ SDK will use meta-freescale layer in
future, so the suggestions is to use this layer for your changes. /*
Hi Zhenhau,
Thank you for the reply. Where will the meta-freescale layer / repo be
located? I would like to see one created on yoctoproject.org with a
master branch. Currently the meta-freescale layer on freescale.com
doesn't have a master branch.
I ask that either you or someone else inside NXP sends out an
announcement when this switch officially takes place.
Bob
*//*
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)?
*/[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] The kernel will be upgraded to 4.1 in QorIQ SDK
2.0 which will be released in Q2/2016. You will see the new kernel in
community meta-fsl-arm/ppc and meta-freescale layer in the early of
Q3/2016. /*
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.
