The repo on yoctoproject.org contains development done by the open source community and is developed as close as possible to the yocto standards. The github repo is a fork by Xilinx. The branches on that repo start from a commit from yoctoproject.org and add some features. But in the practice it will work in a different workflow involving Petalinux, xsct and other Xilinx proprietary tools. The branches there are not supposed to be merged into yoctoproject.org, they will keep on diverging. Thus you should first choose your workflow: * The Community workflow: use yoctoproject.org, standard open source tools, boot using U-Boot SPL * The Xilinx workflow: use the github xilinx fork, follow the Xilinx procedures, boot with Xilinx FSBL etc. A few more details on the two approaches in this talk: https://fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/arm64_and_fpga/ Hope that helps, -- Luca -- _______________________________________________ meta-xilinx mailing list meta-xilinx@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-xilinx
