I would like an idea of how much work it could be to backport support for a raspberrypi2 or raspberrypi3 to Yocto 1.7. I am relatively knew to Raspberry Pis and not that experienced in Yocto either.
I can see that there is a raspberrypi Machine specification supplied in the dizzy branch. The raspberrypi2.conf and raspberrypi3.conf files do not turn up till later on. Is copying these two configuration files back to a dizzy branch all that needs to happen? If I can get a bitbake to complete successfully is that really all there is to it or are there a handful of runtime issues I might encounter later? I would not like to create a minefield for myself. The reason I am thinking about the feasibility of back-porting support is that we have an existing product which is based on 1.7. Either we: develop everything on the older version of Yocto (which means backporting Pi 2 or 3 support), develop on two versions of Yocto for now, or try to port the existing product to something more modern line Yocto 2.1 Krogoth. If nothing else I thought someone here might be able to give an authoritative answer to how big a job the backport was likely to be so we could way up our options. I am happy to muddle a long and do the work in isolation, this is not a request for anyone else to perform the backport or publish it to a public branch (though I would obvious love to be told it is already done ;-)).
