Thanks, that's good news :-) I'll kick things off using Dora and plan to move to Daisy later on. > Please DO anticipate that in future, we are likely to drop validating BYT > platform after some > version of Linux LTSI and switch focus on next platform.

I'm hoping that we won't need any updates once we've got the initial version running, especially as we don't have the budget to engage OSVs. We only run with hardware that's part of the platform, so kernel updates aren't likely to be needed. It's sometimes nice to be able to use later versions of other packages (e.g. GStreamer), but those are generally simple enough to pull in if needed. > >> I hope so, as the embedded board I'm looking to use is due to be launched >> about now and will be available until 2020 ;-) >> >>> Thank you. >>> >>> Rebecca >>> Chris Tapp opensou...@keylevel.com www.keylevel.com -- _______________________________________________ meta-intel mailing list meta-intel@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-intel
