In which meta/layer is a home for not yet supported machines

In which meta/layer is a home for not yet supported machines

[Andreas Mueller]

Hi,

just started to collect first oe-core experiences and would like to get the 
hardware on my (or friend's) desk supported. To check already available I did

find -name "*.conf" | grep machine

and miss

o gumstix overo ( http://www.gumstix.com/store/index.php?cPath=33 )
o tx28 ( http://www.karo-electronics.com/tx28.html / have prepared support for 
oe but would like to get this to oe-core )
o mx28evk ( 
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MCIMX28EVKJ&fr=g 
)

In which meta/layer is the first place for configurations/bootloader/kernels?

Regards

Andreas

you would need meta layer for the new machines. There already are some layers
checkout angstrom if the machines do not fit into those existing you
can create a new
layer something like meta-gumstix

I know Steve Sakoman is working on OE-core, so we might see an gumstix
layer soon.

AFAIK there is no machine conf in angstrom

Open and maintain git-repos

meta-gumstix
meta-freescale
meta-karo

and get them supported by angstrom? Is that a solution for a hobbyist dev (not 
working for one of these companies)? Or wait until the companies will get this 
done?

sorry but maybe I am missing something

Yes, that's pretty much the size of it.  Creating the repos is fairly
trivial, you can host them on github or gitorious or anywhere you like.
Maintaining them ought to also be fairly low-effort since a basic
machine layer doesn't actually need to contain very much.

for tx28 / mx28evk see https://gitorious.org/schnitzeltony-oe-meta/meta-
freescale 

I run tested for tx28 / console-image and am happy (let's see for how long..) 
with it. Maybe someone wants to test mx28evk or have some review on it.

Really was'nt that big deal - and nobody nitpicked :-)
