Hi Andrei,

We were able to verify that we could directly use the raspberrypi3-64.conf for the cm3 as 64-bit, as you had suggested.  Thanks for that suggestion.

It just seemed a bit confusing that there is only one cm3 machine conf, and it tunnels through to a rpi2.  All the online doc about the cm3 mentions the rpi3.  A colleague wonders if there are any differences that 

someone was planning to eventually use that cm3 conf to enumerate, otherwise - having a cm3 conf seems like unnecessary duplication.

Thanks again for your help!

Hello,

My company has bought a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 for evaluation, and I have a 2 questions about the supplied machine .conf files for it.

1. Should the supplied raspberrypi-cm3.conf file internally refer to the Raspberry Pi 3 instead of the Raspberry Pi 2, since the RPi3 is the hardware basis of the Compute Module 3?

RaspberryPi 3 is currently almost the same as RaspberryPi 2 in terms of configuration. What is the problem you are facing? 

 

2. Should there also be an additional .conf file supplied in the meta-raspberry pi layer for a 64-bit version of poky Linux for the Compute Module 3, just as there is a raspberrypi3-64 machine .conf for the RPi3?

You can use directly raspberrypi3-64 as far as I am aware. The cm confs are used as aliases right now. They point to one of the Raspberrypi 2 or 3 machine configurations.
