Move community board support files and recipes to meta-agl-devel

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

This task may not be relevant anymore (or we should update the subject)...

Agreed.

The final location should be considered during the layer reorg discussion. As immediate action we can split community boards into meta-agl-bsp-community .

Waiting for weston upgrade to be finished (affects meta-agl-bsp).
