It would be a nice topic for OEDEM to see if we discuss switching to a poky BSP model. It would boil down to: 1 base bblayer with shared files: * conf/machine/include * recipes/linux/*.inc 1 bblayer per machine or SOC_FAMILY containing: * machine.conf * first and second stage bootloaders * kernel So, what are peoples thoughts on this? I haven't thought this through myself, so feel free to point out any show stoppers. I do not want this to turn into a "splitting the metadata" discussion, while I'm all for that, it really is a seperate effort and discussion. But any bblayer style split would benefit from OE being a collection of git submodules instead of a monolithic tree[1].
