Hi,

We have followed below steps to add a minnow board:

1)Board bring up
     -Added a jenkins job to build an image using yocto project.
     -For this*, Python 3.5 or greater *version is required.

2) Automate the hard reboot
     -Minnow board is connected to a usb relay.
     -Hard reboot is done by jenkins job.

3)Adding a board
     -minnow.board file is added.

4) Adding a toolchain
      -sdk toolchain has been installed inside a container.
      -To access the toolchain ".toolchain" is added.


 Attached writeup explains steps to build an image for the minnow board
using the yocto project. It briefly explains steps to add the SDK toolchain
for minnow board.

Thanks and regards,
Pooja More

This is great stuff.  I have a couple of questions and items of feedback
below.

Did you have to add anything to the Docker container for this?
I don't see anything in the instructions about this.

Is there a standalone script to perform the reboot, like with the rpi board?

This command in the instructions seems to be missing a destination directory (of /tmp)

sudo docker cp
fuego-container:/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/minnow/workspace/build/tmp/deploy/sdk/poky-glibcx86_64-core-image-sato-sdk-corei7-64-intel-corei7-64-toolchain-3.2+snapshot.sh

This is a very nice reference for setting up a board for Fuego, using Yocto Project (building the image,
creating the SDK, and populating all the related Fuego stuff).

Thanks.  This would make a nice tutorial for the rst docs... :-)
