* minimal template layer for new machine support @ 2012-09-10 17:12 Tilman Baumann 2012-09-11 4:49 ` Khem Raj 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Tilman Baumann @ 2012-09-10 17:12 UTC (permalink / raw) To: openembedded-devel Hi, I'm working on a TI DM812x support overlay. I guess what it comes down to is a new kernel recipe (based on TI's sources) and this funny two stage u-boot. I think I can write the recipes. But what I don't quite see is how I would add a new supported machine in the first place? I was trying to orient myself on a few existing machine support layers. But I think I'm still missing the point. What are the minimal basics to implement? Where should I start? Thanks for any help. Cheers Tilman ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I think I can work with that. I only knew the Arago project, but that is not based on oe-core. Thanks ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

As far as I know, there also exists an effort by the meta-ti people to port the original Arago distro to the new layered architecture over oe-core: this is called meta-arago (http://arago-project.org/git/?p=meta-arago.git;a=summary). You'd better ask on the meta-ti list what the state of the art is for this project, but I think it is supposed to work with meta-ti and provide an alternative distro layer to Angstrom. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I will ask the arago guys about it. But really, since I still have to do kernel and u-boot from scratch, I don't think I gain much. (I can't use the original TI stuff.) I guess if I would grokk how a basic hardware enablement layer is done, I would be better off. Thanks TIlman ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
