Description
The list of boards is growing:
- cyclone5
- dra7xx-evm
- dragonboard-410c
- h3ulcb
- imx6qsabrelite
- intel-corei7-64
- joule
- m3ulcb (+nogfx)
- nitrogen6x
- porter
- qemux86 / qemux86-64
- raspberrypi2
- raspberrypi3
- wandboard
In the last AGL release (CC), only 3 boards are used as Reference Boards:
- porter
- intel-corei7-64
- qemux86-64
This is a proposal to make some cleanup in meta-agl (core layer) and move community boards support files into meta-agl-devel. This is a solution to isolate the non-maintained (or poorly-maintained) boards outside of main layers. Typically, the move to weston 1.11 (see SPEC-411) shows that changing a major component version for all BSPs at once is very difficult, as not all BSPs support the new version.
Moving community boards support in meta-agl-devel provides a clear separation between official builds and community builds:
- moving forward on reference design should be easier
- it will also allow the community to align on the reference design at its own pace
In details, this can be done in few steps:
- create meta-agl-devel/templates/machines
- create meta-agl-devel/meta-agl-bsp
Then, for all community boards: - move files from meta-agl/templates/machines to meta-agl-devel/templates/machines
- move directories and related files from meta-agl/meta-agl-bsp to meta-agl-devel/meta-agl-bsp
- adjust meta-agl-devel/templates/machines// to reflect the new paths
