Hi Andrey,

Thank you for the answers. They are very helpful. I think the master branch 
should work.

My understanding is the hardware vendor will also release the hardware specific 
meta data layer for every Poky release. NXP will have a meta-freescale release 
for a corresponding Poky release. For example, a Sumo release for a matching 
Poky Sumo release, a Thud release for a matching Poky Thud release, ...etc. I 
wonder if any NXP people can comment on this?


Matt

No problem!

You would need couple of additional layers to build the image for your 
target... This is listed in:

I do not think that NXP would make an announcement for other releases in a form 
you're expecting it to be, but even if they would - you're not limited to that 
release, and can always try to build your image from either the master branch 
or any stable branches that you're interested in. Bottom line is I guess for 
this point NXP people should comment here.

I believe Github is the place of origin for the meta-freescale development, and 
Yocto Project is a mirror of it.

Did you try to build off the latest "master" branch? This should have a support 
for QorIQ platforms (have a look at 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_Freescale_meta-2Dfreescale_blob_master_recipes-2Dkernel_linux_linux-2Dqoriq-5F4.19.bb&d=DwIBaQ&c=q6k2DsTcEGCcCb_WtVSz6hhIl8hvYssy7sH8ZwfbbKU&r=LfbDghM-XW_5RT-h77pAoNBiz4zBr-sjgQI-UHuV1XU&m=KbOgzcbRmc5C-dMbLgYwD7UH59CTtJIzy5UokfSPNN4&s=p8N9xZk6tqilEdvN52WU63zJg7UeSj4CkWhpNWlxxkc&e=
for example).

What you would need to do here is to look at the manifest file that NXP 
provided for sumo, deduct all remotes and layers from it (meta-fresscale, 
meta-freescale-distro, meta-freescale-3rdparty, etc.), put them together and 
run the build.
