The benefit I see is that it logically groups all QorIQ parts together, which I believe is important. When Freescale needs to provide support for LS2A (next generation) DPAA, the current organization will become a mess. A lot (if not most) of the QorIQ BSP layer is for DPAA / networking, and I don't think it will make sense to have these duplicated in both meta-fsl-ppc and meta-fsl-arm, or have DPAA code that will be built for the ARM in meta-fsl-ppc (or vice versa). I would hope that having this code organized in logical layers under the scope of QorIQ would make it more manageable in migrating from something like a TXXX device to an LS2A device. However, I certainly understand you not wanting to change everything before there is stability in what we currently have. I'm building with meta-fsl-ppc on a daily basis, but I'm not using anything else in the community tree (e.g., demos, meta-fsl-arm, repo, etc.) because my perception is it isn't ready for me as a QorIQ developer. Zhenhua, when are you looking to make these changes? Will this be a master-next sort of thing after the end of the year, or do you want to do all this now? > > -- > Otavio Salvador O.S.
