I understand we are not layer stack independent yet but that needs to be the goal.  Certainly adding a whole bunch of non-HW related stuff into the same layer is not going to move us any closer.

Since meta-arago is supposed to be as empty as possible and matrix doesn't play well with others it's a bad fit for both meta-arago and meta-oe. Maybe we should split the meta-ti repo into 2 layers: one for BSP things (including sgx, dsp, etc) and one for 'sdk' things (matrix).
The idea is to keep reusable TI deliverables together without forcing people to use arago. Putting matrix in meta-arago would mean you can only use it with DISTRO=arago, which is a huge step backwards from the current situation.
