Hello everyone, excuse me for asking, as I have just spent a few years no longer developing for OpenEmbedded (my most active period was 2006-2011 when I started adding Freescale PowerPC devices), only using it occasionally during the 2011-2015.
My main question: What is at stake? Are there any upcoming changes? my indication is that in a general sense, over the last decade: - the number of users of OE and Yocto has increased rapidly - but the number of developers has not increased. (Yes, new developers come but many previous developers are busy with other stuff). - the communication has become *much* more fragmented (IRC, FSL i.MX community, wiki per vendor, per-layer mailing lists). For users: The users typically ask how to build "image" this-and-that with features this-and-that, with a mix of BSP and other layers (Qt, browser, ...): I think we should write down more quick how-to's based on stable releases that are easily reproducable for a number of popular images. Although we have a few images, we already have quite a big number of variations through the number of variables (distro, features, board, kernel support, blob compatilities). Subtle integration issues between gstreamer, qt, eglfs, wayland, etc. A very good example of such how-to is: http://wiki.wandboard.org/Building_Qt5_using_yocto_on_Wandboard For users turning into developers: Lower the threshold to participate. Not sure how. Regards, Leon.
