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. -- Denys
