Intel announces S1200 low power family, so when might we see a Yocto BSP....

[Bob Cochran]

Hello,

As reported in Information Week (link below), Intel announced a new Atom 
S1200 family for micro servers.  I believe Yocto has applications for 
this family of processors.  Assuming this is true, when do we see a 
Yocto BSP for this family?

I don't actually expect that there are plans already, but I'm assuming 
the Intel team has a rough idea how long it takes to introduce a new BSP 
for a new Atom family.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob,

Let me check around and see if the Cedartrail guys have any plans for
this.

We can also accept new BSPs from anyone interested in submitting and
supporting one, which is another possibility...

Thanks,

Tom

Actually we have a Rangeley BSP, which will be hosted public early next year.
This is a micro server with Intel 2nd generation Atom.

Thanks
