We need to makes sure that the dsp/fpga related kernel modules are
included in any image we generate. Use MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS
just like in sysmobts.inc
Closes: SYS#3687
The old Geode based systems are replaced by AMD APU systems. We might
build for sysmobsc v1 and v2 but would like to be able to tune for the
better CPU.
This is fixing the QA issue on newer perf for x86 on Dora as seen
by the CI system. Drop support for ancient unsupported OE version
and force 3.10/4.9 depending on where we are.
Disabling the new "binfmt" doesn't work and breaks the build. I have
sent an email to the mailinglist and this might be fixed but at the
same time binfmt is split into a new package anyway. At the same time
we should enable some items we have now switched off. Once we start
to use/stabilize this build we need to check what we need and what the
cost is.
The distro is included after the machine so we can not rely
on the DISTRO_VERSION here. Use the AVAILTUNES and see if the
core2-32 is listed and then pick it.
Depending on the upstream version (dora or not) we need to
use either core2 or core2-32. Use a python block expression
to pick this depending on the distro version.
E.g. when using musl and trying to build the smallest possible
rootfs. Existing builds should not start to use these flags as
they would be likely to force a big rebuild.
While copying one build to a new directory we inherit most of
the config but it is better to collect this in a single place
so external contributors build with the same options we use.
We don't use any binary only components and can avoid the performance
penalty.
[hfreyther: The ODU build had changed the tune through
the local.conf already]
- remove file with wrong path to ifplugd
recipes-core/busybox/files/busybox-ifplugd.sh
DAEMON=/usr/bin/ifplugd vs. /usr/sbin/ifplugd
- use lambda expression for sysmobts/sysmobsc-kernel to
include busybox-ifplugd or not
- use different defconfig files between master
and dora to enable ifplugd or not
- use different interfaces files between master
and dora to enable auto stanza or not
for the dhcp interface
Fixes: SYS#868 and SYS#1535
[hfreyther: Try to pick an option less likely to break the
Dora support but allowing us to move forward. Not entirely
compile tested due IO load of the system]
meta/conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc:13 (ext3 cpio.gz live)
forces the above image formats that are not relevant to us at
all. Found and done by Jan.
I think the last device we sold was in 2011 and I am not aware
if anyone has used it for the last couple of years. Remove it
to lower the complexity of the builds.
[hfreyther: I asked henning to move forward and not test this. We
do not have dhcp/dynamic config in /etc/network/interfaces and the
link will always be up on the idu due it being connected to a switch.
ifplugd is not doing anything useful in this context]
Fixes: SYS#1535
* the license in README has a new checksum, it now clarifies
to GPLv2
* bump the layer priority otherwise we could not use the latest version,
because the yocto layers have a higher priority
Related: SYS#732
This means that currently only Yocto Dora and Yocto Master are
being targeted. The amount of maintenance to get it to work on
Edison again is too high and it is better to focus on a systemd
only world. Remove the symlinks for yocto-edison.
A quick look and some notes from henning pointed me to wget
which is in the default layers, the sysmobts-2050 which is now
handle dby sysmobts and some older notes that are unlikely
to be addressed.
Similiae to the layer code we simplify the machine include to work
for all versions of a 1.5 release. Poky 1.5.4 has been released and
we don't want to continue to play this game.
* split out rtl-nic firmware from the big
linux-firmware package
[hfreyther: For whatever reasons the NIC works without
additional firmware as well. I couldn't see in the driver
source when that is the case and which features are missing]
We want to enable the watchdog in the bootloader already and
for this to be failsafe we need to have a kernel that can boot
and get ethernet without any additional modules. Now systemd
would not be able to trigger the watchdog and the system would
reboot within 60 seconds. I am not sure how the kernel upgrade
will go and we need to try this.

We need a jffs2/ubi depending on the age of the hardware and
maybe a tar.bz2 so we can easily inspect an image without
playing with mtdram. We almost never need a ubifs and certainly
not a cpio.
The DISTRO_FEATURES_INITMAN variable has been removed, use
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager which is still present. We have
already defined the later in our poky builds
We are currently using 1.5 (dora). Copy the bbappends to the
yocto-dizzy directory and update the version numbers. For busybox
enable all features that were enabled between dora and origin/master.
For opkg_svn.bbapend. In dizzy there is a version attached to it.
This means we need to remove it from the yocto-shared directory
and keep it everywhere else.
