Many projects function this way. It is one of the strengths of the open
source process.

I'd be happy to answer any questions.

[yocto] Yocto Project changes in progress

2018-05-07 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
 Hello everyone. I'd like to briefly address rumors around Richard Purdie's
transition from Intel to a more neutral position, and Intel's reduction in
resources for the project.

We set up the Yocto Project in 2010 through Linux Foundation, with over 20
member organizations, so it would function as a true open source project -
neutral, unbiased, and well distributed. Those things are what make open
source projects less vulnerable to any one person or company. This is
actually a very exciting transitional time for the project, and all
existing member organizations are fully behind the project. We will let
people know details as they are available.

Meanwhile, the 2.5 "Sumo" release is on the way and should be released
soon, the 2.6 planning process has started in earnest (please
participate!), and we are excited to see what the future has in store for
the project.

[yocto] New Yocto Project website

2018-03-07 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
The Yocto Project Advocacy Team has been working on a new project website
for many months now, and we were finally able to launch it this week, just
in time for SCALE and ELC.

We appreciate the feedback we have gotten from some of you, and we will be
sending out a survey asking for more feedback in the coming weeks. For now,
we know there are hiccups to address, so we'd like you to please bear with
us over the next week or so as we iron out issues. If you do find any
serious problems that aren't being addressed, please let us know.

SCaLE doesn't usually coincide the week before ELC, so this year was just
bad timing from the universe.

I propose we start with the board meeting at 9:30 and plan OEDAM to start
at 10:30 to enable people to get there. We can have lunch late and go until
6 if needed.

[yocto] Embedded Linux Conference coming up in Portland, Oregon

2018-01-09 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
If you have aspirations to present a talk at ELC/IOT summit this year, time
is of the essence, as the CFP expires today. As a reminder, ELC is in
Portland the 2nd week in March. The page is here:



https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/elc-openiot-north-america-2018/


This is the premier conference for embedded Linux in the US. The Yocto
Project will also be hosting a Developer Day event on the Thursday
following the conference. This is a paid training event with introductory
and advanced tracks that provides direct access to maintainers and
information on all the latest details about the project. Stay tuned for
details.

[yocto] Yocto Project Developer Day at ELCE in Prague

2017-10-13 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
The Yocto Project is a Bronze sponsor of the Embedded Linux Conference in
Prague, starting on 23 October, and we also provide a conference add-on as
we have for the past several years - Yocto Project Developer Day.

DevDay is an inexpensive one-day event that enables you to learn about the
project in either the Introductory track, a detailed technical introduction
to the project taught by Linux Foundation professional trainers, or the
Advanced track, a collection of intermediate and advanced level hands-on
presentations taught by maintainers and other principals in the Yocto
Project. This day is a chance for intensive training as well as one-on-one
contact with the developers who create and maintain the Yocto Project.

In addition, each attendee will receive a development board, with three to
choose from. Lunch is provided.

For more details and a link to register, see the DevDay page at

https://www.yoctoproject.org/devday

Even if you don't attend DevDay, be sure to stop and say hello at the booth
at ELCE!

Re: [yocto] [OE-core] OpenEmbedded Developers Meeting in Portland before ELC

2017-01-11 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
That is an excellent question. The main issue is that the room usually
contains 20-25 people who are spread too far apart for many solutions to
hear effectively. This is compounded by normally not having any access to
the room until the morning of the event, so it is always a mad scramble.

This year I am focusing on using a regular conference phone rather than a
fancy solution, so there will be no video but hopefully there will be good
audio. I wish I had a permanent solution, but the room is completely
different at every event. I will keep working on it.

Stay tuned for dialup info (no, it won't be google hangout).

[yocto] Yocto Project Developer Day & OEDEM at ELCE this fall

2016-06-22 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
Hi all - in case folks are starting to make travel arrangements for
ELCE in Berlin this October, we are planning both a YP DevDay (paid
training event) and OEDEM (OpenEmbedded members & developers meeting).
We don't have venues yet, but these two events will likely occur on
the Monday and Friday before and after ELCE, Oct 10 and Oct 14. We
aren't sure yet which will be on which day, but chances are good that
DevDay will be on Monday and OEDEM on Friday.

I will keep these lists informed as we move forward.

Also, the CFP for ELCE, OpenIOT Summit, and LinuxCon EU are still
open, so please get your talks in. ELCE is here:

Just a final transportation update for those attending OEDAM.

Transportation will be via carpool. Tom, Rudi, Armin, and myself have
volunteered to drive. Together we have room for 19 out of the 20
signed up. Let's plan to meet in front of the Hyatt at 8:30am on
Friday. If you are late or otherwise unable to be there at that time,
let me know and we'll arrange alternate transportation. If you are
planning to drive yourself, please let me know so we don't wait for
you.

Armin will be driving north after the meeting, so if you ride up there
with him I will either make two trips back or arrange for a cab.

I would give an unequivocal "yes" to this (as the guy with the credit
card). We need reliable internet access to loop in those who can't be
there in person, plus this was actually a reasonable rate for the
immediate area. We can take up to 25 and these meetings usually gain 5

advanced tracks. The day will happen just after ELC, on April 7 at the
Marriott in downtown San Diego, just across from the ELC venue. We'll
have more details posted later this week.

The project is also a sponsor for the event and we will have a booth.
If you have something cool that you have been working on and would
like to show it off in the booth during the conference, let me know
and we'll see what we can do to make some space for your project.

For those also in the OpenEmbedded community, there will be an OE
developer's meeting and working session on Friday, April 8. This is a
working session for OE members (not an educational session, sorry!)
and space is limited, so if you plan to attend, please let me know so
I can plan space accordingly.

thanks!

[yocto] CORRECTION Re: [OE-core] Save the day OEDAM (after ELC and YP devday)

2016-01-21 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
This should be Friday, April 8.

If you are making plans to travel to ELC, the conference takes place
Mon-Wed Apr 4-6. DevDay is being planned for Thu Apr 7. OEDAM will be
Friday Apr 8.

Please RSVP if you plan to attend. I am looking for a venue and need
to get an idea of how many people to accommodate. We may also plan
some kind of social event for Friday night if enough people are
interested.

Summary: if you plan to come to OEDAM, please plan to stay through Friday eve.

thanks

Re: [yocto] is there a list of yocto-supported dev kits somewhere?

2014-08-28 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
I think the machines list is a great start, but it really lists actual
machines, not dev kits. There isn't any way to see immediately from
that list which are $99 dev boards and which are $ reference kits
from the manufacturers. I think Robert is right that a list of
inexpensive YP-supported boards would be extremely useful. I'll try to
create such a list in the near future.

 for the sake of completeness the layerindex [1] has a list of machines

 Although it lacks information about issues / supported features of
 these machines.

Subject: [OE-core] TSC / OE Workgroup meeting today
To: openembedded-c...@lists.openembedded.org,
openembedded-de...@lists.openembedded.org


Its the first week of the month so there should be a public OpenEmbedded
TSC/workgroup IRC meeting today. If you're interested in discussing
long-term technical efforts around the OpenEmbedded project please join
us on irc.freenode.net in channel #oe. Timing is a little tricky as
today, whilst I can make the old time of 17:00 GMT (9am PST, 11am CST,
12 EST, 18:00 CET) I can't make the later timeslot we moved to which was
2 hours later. I think Paul may not be around today.

I therefore plan to be around at the 17:00 time slot and am happy to
talk with anyone then, the other TSC members may be around then or at
the later time slot.

Cheers,

Richard

Re: [yocto] New RC for 1.6.

2014-04-14 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
Hi Denys

 And the question I have is how one gets his own layers into Yocto
 autobuilder?

This question has both political and technical answers.

On the technical side, the layer would at least need to:

- have YP Compatible status
- provide an owner (human)
- provide a QA resource (could be the same human)
- help support the costs of QA

There may be other requirements, and details on some of these issues
are still under discussion. If there is a layer you'd like to discuss,
let me know and I'll set up a meeting with the appropriate people.

on the success of this project.
2.  Describe things we should do differently.  Please provide

3.  How did the team develop and perform (roles, resources,

a 2-day OE/YP hackathon for project developers planned following ELC
() but it is specifically for face-to-face work on the project itself,
not for training. We do have a DevDay planned for ELCE in Dusseldorf
in the fall.

[yocto] Happy Birthday, Yocto Project

2013-11-14 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
In the excitement for the Embedded Linux Conference Europe, Yocto
Project Developer Day, and our 1.5 release, one important item was
missed.

On October 25, 2010, the Yocto Project launched with the release 0.9.
That means that three weeks ago, we had our 3rd birthday, now with
thousands of active users, 16 member organizations, and an extremely
strong ecosystem and community of people working together to make
embedded Linux better.

Happy birthday, Yocto Project!

 Berlios suggests bitbake was born on Dec 7, 2004. So in a few weeks we
 will celebrate the 9'th birthday of the OpenEmbedded build system.

 I know we've all forgotten the exact date :), but this is the best I

There are many layers I would love to see in the YP QA process and I
would count meta-qt5 in the top priority. However, we only have so
many resources, so we have to focus on the core right now. I'd be

[yocto] Yocto Project Developer Day at ELCE

2013-10-07 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
I'm sure everyone attending ELCE has by now heard about DevDay, but I
thought I would send one message to the list just in case. Please
excuse the noise.

The Yocto Project Developer Day at the Embedded Linux Conference in
Edinburgh, Scotland is an all-day mini-conference with two tracks, all
about the Yocto Project and embedded Linux development, with hands-on
labs featuring our new virtual private cloud server (bring a laptop).
It is free for ELCE attendees. If you are planning to attend ELCE and
haven't signed up yet, better do so while there is still time:

[yocto] Yocto Project Developer Day at ELCE 2013

2013-08-30 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
The Yocto Project is pleased to announce a Developer Day event at
ELCE, the Embedded Linux Conference Europe organized by the Linux
Foundation and co-located with LinuxCon Europe. This year, ELCE is in
Edinburgh, Scotland.

Developer Day, or DevDay, is scheduled for Wednesday, 23 October, 9am
- 6pm at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre in downtown
Edinburgh. This is a full day of Yocto Project content, including
separate tracks for new users and advanced users, and a hands-on lab
session for each. We are particularly pleased with the labs this year,
as they will be presented via our new virtual private cloud - just
bring your laptop and a willingness to learn.

DevDay is free for LinuxCon EU or ELCE attendees. If you are not
attending either conference, you can still attend DevDay for US$199,
or about £129. Register for DevDay along with ELCE or LinuxCon, or if
you are registering separately, you can use this link:
https://www.regonline.com/ypddeu13

A schedule for DevDay will be announced next week.

Hope to see you there!

[yocto] meta-security Layer Now Available

2013-07-12 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
 for network
discovery and security auditing is very useful for system and network
administrators. Now, you can monitor anything on the network via your
embedded device with the usage of this tool.


Conclusion

The best way to have a secure embedded device is to keep it simple.
That means, if you want to be bulletproof, don't include tools that
can bring security holes to your device. But when you really need
those programs, it is best to bring them along with a security
checking tool that assures you the security you need.

 Subject: [meta-freescale] serial port timeout before expected # of bytes
 arrives

 Hello everyone,
 I am trying to port an application that is receiving/sending data through
 the serial port.
 On the sabrelite board that is the /dev/ttymxc0 port, ie the 2ndary serial
 port (the primary being /dev/ttymxc1).

 I am using the functions select() and read() to read from the serial port ,
 in order to implement a timeout mechanism that is waiting for a few seconds
 for bytes to arrive and if should they not arrive, then the timeout is
 reached.

 The receiving loop works like this:

 I wait for 2 bytes - the opcode of the command.
 Once I resolve a code, I wait for 4 bytes designating the length of data
 that will follow (depending on the command)
 I create a buffer in my application of size equal to the length I received
 above.
 I start receiving the data.



 Note that I have implemented reception of the data in 2 ways (since the 1st
 way used to work, it was tried as is. Then, I tried the next as well):



 a)receive my data using a for loop, reading() one byte at time. until all
 the expected bytes arrive , or a timeout is reached.

 b)receive my data using a while loop where I ask for all the remaining bytes
 to be read(). Read() returns how many bytes have actually arrived, so I
 update the remaining Bytes and re-read(). Again if a select() times-out
 without any data arriving, the loop will exit.


 Now, my problem is that while applications seem to be using this port
 without any problem (f.e. minicom, rx, cat /dev/ttymxc0, echo something 
 /dev/ttymxc0 ) , through the application I get timeouts for any file that is
 bigger than 3-4kBytes.


 Say I am trying to send a file 138kB. I may fail at byte ~40k, ~56k, or even
 ~12k. This is very weird. And I don't know what to assume is going wrong.
 Slow processing on the local end seems to not be a problem, as I can read
 (in (b) above) approx 58 bytes in the beginning and then 1 byte at a time.
 Could it be the memory buffer? If yes, how can I increase its size? Could
 another application be interfering with /dev/ttymxc0?



 I am running fsl-image-test with all -dev, -sdk  -dbg options enabled.


 Thank you for your help.

 Showing how Poky (the reference distribution) is built would be a nice

Totally agree, but I would relegate that to a separate effort. The
main problem with diagrams like this is trying to squeeze in too much
information in order to preserve completeness, at the expense of
clarity. It would be more ideal to start with a very simple diagram,
then move on to other diagrams to zoom in on pertinent detail. It is a
delicate balancing act. In this case, I would say to put how Poky is
built into the 3rd or 4th diagram in a series.

I'm not sure I understand. It looks like you are using Host A to build

Hi Nicolas, thanks for asking these questions. We are in the process
of revising the documentation and application forms for that program,
so your questions come at a very good time.

I have a few answers:

 Hi there,

 I have a couple of questions regarding the compliance program. If
 there is a better place for asking such questions, please let me know.

 I have studied the Yocto compliance documentation, [1] on the website,
 and I have the following questions:

  - is there any 'practical' guide with do's and don'ts to help make
 a sucessful Yocto Project Compatible registration?

We don't have a guide like this, but I can create one. I'm guessing
you are looking for guidance on how to answer individual questions as
well as how one answer affects the others, is that correct?

  - i understand that while the project should build with the OE core
 toolchain, it is not required to use the OE core toolchain 'by
 default', so we should be able to provide our own modified/customized
 toolchain in our layers, is my understanding correct?

Yes - the project needs to be able to build with the standard
toolchain, but you can provide your own as well.

  - it is recommended, but not mandatory not use the Yocto kernel, so
 we can use any mainline version in our BSP layers, right?

I believe this is the case, but I'll need to research  get back to you.

  - is it tolerated to change the versions of some components from
 OE-core or meta-oe? Not just add patches through .bbappend, but
 actually use an older or a more recent version of components, let's
 say Gstreamer for example?

I don't think we require specific versions of any packages, but again
I'll have to research first.

  - can we included new recipes for software programs not already
 included in oe-core or meta-oe in our layers, or do we have to
 contribute them back into oe-core or meta-oe before registration?

Yes, you can include new recipes (and packages).

  - the Yocto project compatible registration is made against a
 specific version of Yocto. What happens when a new Yocto version is
 released? Should we go through the registration process again?

That is a question we have discussed quite a lot. The plan of record
is for YP Compatible products/projects to resubmit the form after
testing with the new version. However, that does create a problem if
someone has, for example, a dozen YP Compatible products. Plus, what
happens with point releases? These issues are under discussion  I'll
report back as soon as I have clear answers.

 thanks a lot!

Thank you for asking these questions!

tremendous amount of work that goes into the project - Ohloh
(http://www.ohloh.net/p/YoctoProject/) describes us as one of the
largest open-source teams in the world.

Also at ELC, we are planning a Yocto Project Developer Day. This
half-day event features presentations aimed at advanced users as well
as one-on-one contact with Yocto Project developers and an evening
social event. More information is at
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/embedded-linux-conference/yocto-project-developer-day

We participate in as many conferences each year as we can, and 2013
will be no exception. We have attended or plan to attend FOSDEM, ELC,
Linux Collaboration Summit, and LinuxCon Japan, with OSCON, LinuxCon
North America, and Embedded Linux Conference Europe (ELCE) also on the
horizon.

If you or someone you know is planning to talk about the Yocto Project
at a conference or elsewhere, please let us know. We are glad to
feature presentations on the website.

Re: [yocto] All incompassing documentation

2012-09-19 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
I'm afraid source tarball doesn't quite work, as not all are
required to be tarballs, e.g. if something is in a git repo or in a
local CVS repo.

Can it be true that there is no single term that refers to the
collection of pieces that, when built, create a discrete package?

On Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 8:50 AM, Brian Lloyd bll...@familyhonor.net wrote:
 I would like to point out Yocto's own documentation uses it for two
 separate items, which is the point I was making.  Neither of which are
 source tarballs

 It is a product produced by Yocto.
 It is the items to be installed from the host system.

I think these actually refer to the same thing. Packages are
products of the Yocto Project build process whose purpose is to be
installed on the target. They are packaged using a specific format
(.rpm, .deb, .ipk). This is a universal development term, at least
within the wider Linux community, not a specific Yocto Project term.
Unless I misunderstand what you are saying?

 That may be right, but if so, we can't say that for Yocto it only means
 the first, as we use it for the second as well.  If we want it to only
 be the first, then we must use a different term for the second, such as
 host applications, and the user should be notified of the unusual word
 choice and why early in the documentation.  I believe there are several
 locations where terms are explained already in the documentation, even
 if we later use the term in a way other than that identified as it's
 meaning (3.4. Yocto Project Terms comes to mind).  Discussing Package
 meaning there, perhaps we should identify the term that will be used for
 host package, or how we will identify when the term is used with a
 different meaning than the one just given.

There shouldn't be any applications on your host (meaning: built for
your host) that end up being installed on the target. There may be
packages that you have downloaded that you'd like to install on your
target, but that

 Or if we concede that packages is what the user expects to see when
 discussing what to install, we need to disambiguate in some way to
 differentiate the two uses.  Indexes are good at this.  The biggest
 advantage to an index over straight search is that author's can use
 context to differentiate the different uses when a word has them.
 Another option could be prepending to both the context at each location
 used, so we use Yocto package and host package or where we always prefix
 context to one of the two for every use.  However, doing only one with a
 context makes for more manual searches, where we are making a document
 with the goal of making searching for information more effective.

Can you tell us what you mean by host package?

Re: [yocto] All incompassing documentation

2012-09-19 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
It also occurs to me that a source for the confusion might be that
there is more than one build process going on with BitBake. It is used
both to create packages and to install them into a rootfs in order to
create an image. Thus, the workflow looks something like this,
starting from the point of download:

[tarball/repo] - [source] - [binary] - [package] - [image]

or, the evolution of a chunk of information, in terms of its file type:

[.tar.gz/.git] - [*.c,*.h,Makefile,etc] - [executable] -
[.rpm,.deb,.ipk] - [.ext3]

Yes, this is a gross generalization with many exceptions. I'm just
trying to capture discrete terms for each step of the process.

Our term package is often used to describe the first item, sometimes
to describe the second item, and always used to describe the fourth
item. It is also sometimes used to describe the repository - the
ecosystem of files that defines a given piece of software.

Brian - thanks very much for starting this conversation. Terminology
is important, and just because people use overloaded terms every day
doesn't mean we shouldn't work to differentiate them.

Re: [yocto] of recipes and packages

2012-08-22 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
I tend to think of packages as ingredients, in keeping with the
cooking metaphor. They have version numbers, just as ingredients in
the refrigerator have expiration dates. The recipes, however, have
their own version numbers, but they are less critical to the success
of the build - maybe my Aunt Agnes has a version of Betty Crocker's
yellow cake recipe, but improved slightly. If I make that recipe with
old eggs, though, it will fail.

In this case, bitbake is looking for the expiration dates on your
ingredients - the version of the package that each recipe builds. With
the list that comes from bitbake -s you can determine whether any of
your packages is the right one.

As for the versions of the recipes themselves, the Yocto Project's QA
and testing process makes sure that each of the included recipes
works, in the sense that it builds the package reliably. You can spice
them up if you like.

Chris Hallinan wrote up a good description of many of the terms used
in the project:
http://blogs.mentor.com/chrishallinan/blog/2012/04/13/yocto-versus-poky-versus-angstrom-etc/

Hope that helps

 Okay, if the confusion over yocto versus yocto project versus

 recipes versus packages

 an image is composed of packages
 a recipe for a given piece of software generates a set of packages

 to discover the list of packages generated by a recipe one can use:
 $ bitbake -e recipe | grep ^PACKAGES=

 to discover the list of available recipes (for a given set of layers)
 one can use:
 $ bitbake -s

 However:

 $ bitbake --help | grep -- -s

Re: [yocto] adding packages in my Yocto

2012-08-21 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
Hi - please take a look at the FAQ here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/FAQ

Near the bottom there are some technical answers, one of which is how
to add a single package:

Q: How can I add a package to my project?

A: As with any complex system, the real answer is it depends, but of
course that is not very helpful. The simplest method for adding a
single package to your build is to add a line like this to
conf/local.conf:

   IMAGE_INSTALL_append +=  package

Use your own package name in place of package. Note the leading space
before the package name.
For more information, read this chapter in the Yocto Project
Development Manual
(http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#usingpoky-extend-addpkg).

I also highly recommend trying out the Hob interface, as it makes the
whole system easier to understand. I like to make changes in the Hob
and then examine those changes in the resulting configuration files to
better understand the system at work.

Hope this helps!

 grab the description from mailman.

 We'll still need descriptions of the non-yocto-project lists, so that
 may not be particularly helpful.

The only YP-related, non-YP lists I currently track are
openembedded-core and bitbake-devel.  Both are OE lists, and I have
recently volunteered to help admin, so can make sure they have valid
Descriptions. If there are other lists we should track, please let me
know and I'll add them to the pile.

Re: [yocto] rantthe current yocto FAQ is pretty much valueless/rant

2012-06-27 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
Hi all - looks like it has been a busy morning while I wasn't looking!

I was the last one to touch the FAQ on the wiki, and I can attest that
its goal is not to be an end-all be-all technical FAQ, of the how-do-I
variety or any other. It should have more correct language in it, to
which I will attend directly.

We DO have an interactive technical FAQ planned along with a full
upgrade on the website sometime in August. Meanwhile, we can certainly
use that FAQ for some actual questions that come up frequently, like
adding a package. I can add that immediately, and will point toward
Robert's FAQ page as well.

Koen quoth:
         'Do you mean yocto or do you mean poky?'.

 The reaction to that can go a few ways and the follow up actions I recommend:

 1) People don't get the question and/or don't know the difference between 
 'yocto' and 'poky'. Pretend you have a nosebleed and walk away, fast
 2) People say Right, I meant the buildsystem, not the umbrella project or 
 No, I really meant 'yocto' as the umbrella project. Continue the 
 conversation.
 3) People say Koen put you up to this, didn't he?. You're most likely 
 talking to Dave or Saul, buy them lunch :)

[yocto] Yocto Project Facebook Page

2012-01-11 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
Hi all,

In my wanderings as a community manager, evidently I found time last year
to set up both a page and a group on Facebook, and then proceeded to
neglect both of them. I am shutting down the group, as it is quite
unused. In order to do so, I need to delete the group's 10 members, so if
you are one of those, please don't take offense!

Instead, please take a look at the Yocto Project Facebook Page (not group)
at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Yocto-Project/155601504475740?sk=wall and
give us a Like if you want to. You can also find the Yocto Project on
Google+ at https://plus.google.com/u/3/b/107524829985806817965/ and on
Twitter at http://twitter.com/YoctoProject, and a few other places as well.
I periodically post news and links to all of them.

[yocto] Does my build disk's filesystem make a difference?

2012-01-06 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
I am creating a Yocto Project build system. For various reasons, it is a
dual-boot system, win7  linux (probably mint 12, haven't decided). I have
a primary boot disk with both operating systems and a large secondary disk
to use for build trees etc.

Does the filesystem on the big secondary disk matter? Ideally I would like
to be able to get to the large data disk from both operating systems. That
would necessitate NTFS, as win7 does not speak ext4 reliably, but I don't
want to slow my builds down.

 For those that haven't seen it, it's a credit-card sized 'home pc'
 aimed primarily at educational users that includes a 700MHz ARM11
 core, HDMI, OpenGL ES 2.0, ethernet and audio for about $35. It will
 be supporting Debian, Fedora and ArchLinux at launch.

 Looks like a good board for people that want to get in to Yocto /
 embedded linux. Also looks like it's a good platform for some of my
 stuff...

 I would be interested in working on a BSP / distro if anyone is
 working on it or would like to work on it.


 I'm not aware of anyone working on this but I like the idea of a BSP for
 it and it shouldn't be too hard to do. I'd be happy to ensure we have a
 repository somewhere on git.yoctoproject.org to support this (and any
 other similar BSP efforts) if that would help?


 We can also help here @ Wind River. This board is one that's on my short
 list for the BSP refresh covered by:

 http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/**show_bug.cgi?id=1634http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1634

 So I'd like to see it right in the yocto kernel as a hardware reference
 platform.

 I'm about to finalize a suggested list of boards and after that, we can
 see what resources/people want to collaborate on some BSPs.

 Cheers,

 Bruce

[yocto] Yocto Project 1.1 Announcement

2011-11-02 Thread Jeff Osier-Mixon
the Linux Foundation conferences site. For more information about the Yocto
Project, please visit: http://www.yoctoproject.org.

“The Yocto Project provides an opportunity to help Intel customers
differentiate and create unique solutions in the embedded market segment,”
said Ton Steenman, vice president and general manager, Intelligent Systems
Group, Intel. “Intel remains committed to choice in operating systems and
our Intelligent Systems roadmap for embedded views the Yocto Project as a
way to provide our customers with a flexible Linux enabling vehicle.”

“The EGLIBC library is a fundamental technology to an embedded Linux
system. By integrating it with the Yocto Project and hosting it at The
Linux Foundation, we can accelerate the development of EGLIBC,” said Mark
Mitchell, Director of Tools, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division.
“The new Shoeleather Lab hosted by Mentor Graphics will aid the Yocto
Project by providing a neutral site for connecting developers to
leading-edge hardware platforms, facilitating critical porting and
optimization activities around Yocto and EGLIBC.”

“The Yocto Project is providing key resources specific to the embedded
Linux developer community,” said Dan Cauchy, VP of Marketing and Business
Development, MontaVista Software. “We’re glad to be collaborating with our
industry peers in improving embedded Linux development.”

“The alignment of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded continues to
accelerate our development, said Jason Kridner, ARM microprocessors
community development manager at TI. We're active in the Yocto Project
because it moves as fast as we do to meet the market demands for embedded
Linux development. We're proud to be a part of this community.

“The adoption of the Yocto Project validates the market demand for a common
set of embedded Linux development tools,” said Paul Anderson, vice
president of Linux products at Wind River. “As a founding member and active
maintainer, Wind River is firmly committed to the success of the Yocto
Project and will continue its contributions of code, resources,
infrastructure, and tools, as well as draw from the Yocto Project as
an upstream source for our commercial Linux releases.”

  There also was a request for more general purpose OEDAM over the weekend,
  maybe in parallel or before/after TSC meeting:
 
  Any thoughts on that?

 Most of the replies there are from TSC people who are going to be there
 with the exceptions of yourself and Mike. I'm ok with having a more
 general meeting if the demand is there and Jefro can arrange it. If
 there are only a few people, I'd suggest something like meeting after
 the TSC meeting and finding food/drink together.



For those who don't know me, I'm Jefro.  :)

As Richard says, a small crowd would probably interact better over
refreshments.  If you are interested in such a gathering, send me a note at
je...@jefro.net and let me know when you are available, and I'll see what I
can pull together.

Hi all - Dave posted a request for website feedback on the blog.

One idea that has worked well in other communities (including meld.org) is
video walkthroughs of basic things, like setting up the environment, doing a
first build, etc.  Android does this - they don't have to be exciting or
long, in fact the shorter the better, but it really helps for them to
exist.  There are several software packages that make it a breeze.

keep up the good work,

Jeff
