Hi Chris, Prasant, Our official support for Valleyisland BSP is on the Jethro branch. Valleyisland is now supported at best effort maintenance mode for critical high-impact bug fixes. As of now, we do not have plans for releasing upgraded versions for this bsp.
Also we are in progress of removing meta-isg in the future releases of meta-intel. This is in favor of consolidating intel platforms to intel common machine. Thanks, Mei Yeen Intel Corporation -----Original Message----- From: Prasant J [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, July 25, 2016 4:07 PM To: Chris Tapp <[email protected]> Cc: Ng, Mei Yeen <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: Re: [meta-intel] meta-valleyisland BSP layer retirement communication On Mon, Jul 25, 2016 at 3:31 AM, Chris Tapp <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear mailing-list, > > We are planning to retire meta-valleyisland BSP layer from meta-intel > master branch and this change is targeted for the upcoming Yocto Project 2.2. > > This layer is retired in future YP releases because there are no > immediate requirements for support in newer LTSI kernel. > > > Could you please explain what that means / why that is the case?

We plan to use this processor for long time. Till now we were relying on the meta-intel (specifically valleyisland). I do not understand what does this update mean? Will I not be able to get updates for my intel E3845?
