I've used it to build/install linux on the Wandboard, and I've installed host-based cross devlopement environment (bitbake -c populate_sdk ). Everything worked, but basically I just followed some "getting started" steps so, I still don't really have a clue... Last year I finished up a custom iMX6-based project using buildroot for rootfs, ftp.denx.de for uboot and freescale git for the kernel. These two projects are totally isolated; yet I'm sure >85% of the code base is identical. This year I have two ongoing iMX6 based linux projects, and may need to use a beaglebone or RPi for some other small project. The point of the above detail is that I'd like to backup a bit and attempt to use Yocto to organize all four of these with one instance of Yocto/Poky. Is that practical? Seems to me that is the ideal goal of Yocto, but I don't see many BSPs listed under the project downloads page. On the other hand, I know wandboard and sabresd and many others do have yocto build environments. What's the scoop on that? I'd really like to manage all of these projects under one umbrella if possible; but what if different projects use different versions of poky (for example)? Thanks in advance for any info... Ed
