Hi all, hopefully somebody can explain to me the difference between the
Xilinx and Yocto hosted meta-xilinx layers. As of today there are
significant differences between the two repositories. To illustrate,
Xilinx appear to have released a lot of stuff tagged with 2016.3 over
the weekend which does not yet exist in the Yocto hosted repo. Is it
just a time delay thing?
v2016.3 and other release branches on github are aligned with Xilinx
tools release. Each release branch is based on previous stable Yocto
release (2016.3 is based on krogoth). We also dont support few things
like yocto kernel, u-boot spl etc since these branches are used for
Xilinx tools release.
These branches will not make it to yoctoproject.org, instead we upstream
the work done in each release branch to the master of meta-xilinx.
Which repo should I base my development work
on? I am developing for US+ MPSoC.
If you are using Xilinx tools (toolchain, xsct, etc), then it is
recommended that you stick with Xilinx release branches. If you plan to
use complete opensource YP (meaning Yocto toolchain, kernel etc), then
use master or any stable previous Yocto branch. Note that MPSoC may not
work with Yocto kernel
Hope this helps
Thanks
Manju
