What is meta Freescale?

meta-freescale-distro: provides images recipes, demo recipes, and packagegroups used to ease the development with Yocto Project.

What is meta BSP layer in yocto?

The meta-yocto-bsp layer maintains several BSPs such as the Beaglebone, EdgeRouter, and generic versions of both 32-bit and 64-bit IA machines. For information on the BSP development workflow, see the “Developing a Board Support Package (BSP)” section.

What is a Yocto distro?

Yocto uses features as a means to figure out which libraries, utilities and kernel modules to include in the image. There is some overlap between the three feature categories (especially distro- and image features), and it is not always obvious where to look for a particular feature.

What is yocto Dunfell?

0) The Yocto Project has announced its 3.1 LTS release of its distribution-building system. Changes include a 5.4 kernel, the removal of all Python 2 code, improvements in the build equivalence mechanism (described in this article), and more.

What is poky in yocto?

Poky is the build tool in the Yocto Project. The Yocto Project uses Poky to build images (kernel, system, and application software) for targeted hardware. Before diving into Poky, it helps to have an understanding of the Yocto Project.

How does Yocto Project work?

The Yocto Project employs a collection of components and tools used by the project itself, by project developers, and by those using the Yocto Project. These components and tools are open source projects and metadata that are separate from the reference distribution (Poky) and the OpenEmbedded build system.

Is yocto a BSP?

The Yocto Project includes a couple of tools that enable you to create a BSP layer from scratch and do basic configuration and maintenance of the kernel without ever looking at a Metadata file. These tools are yocto-bsp and yocto-kernel , respectively.

What is BSP code?

A board support package (BSP) is essential code code for a given computer hardware device that will make that device work with the computer’s OS (operating system). The BSP contains a small program called a boot loader or boot manager that places the OS and device drivers into memory.

Is Yocto debian based?

Perhaps the most important thing to know about Yocto is this: it’s not an actual Linux distro. The Yocto Project website motto states “It’s not an embedded Linux Distribution, It creates a custom one for you.” In other words, you can create a custom Linux distro using the Yocto framework.

What is poky and Bitbake?

Poky is platform-independent and performs cross-compiling, using Bitbake Tool, OpenEmbedded Core, and a default set of metadata. The main objective of Poky is to provide all the features an embedded developer needs. Bitbake is a task scheduler that parses Python and Shell script mixed code, which we called Recipes.
