All,
After much debate and further considerations ;) we've decided to split meta-ti
repository into 2 layers to ease up on inter-layer dependencies and to enable
additional use cases of building basic BSP images with a very small set of
layers, only requiring oe-core as a dependency. The proposed split is the
following:
1. meta-ti-bsp-core - is the ultra portable layer. Starting out it will
contain only recipes-kernel and recipes-bootloader plus necessary machine
configurations. Depending on the platform, can be as little as basic board
support.
2. meta-ti-bsp-extras - provides the full chip functions with perhaps some
extra constraints. Initialy this will contian support for DSP, Graphics, and
Wifi. Provides additional board support for peripherals that may require
software components like DSPBIOS, CodecEngine, gst-ti, firmware etc. Depends
on meta-ti-bsp-core. In the future, if certain technologies prove themselves
well portable, we may move them from meta-ti-bsp-extras to meta-ti-bsp-core.
I'll be starting the initial work on this in a separate branch, calling for
wider review once ready.
Please provide feedback. Thanks.
