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.
I wish I could have made it more simple but at least only compare
the 1.X of the poky version as minor versions generally do not
upgrade the core components
* use seperate defconfig, because of option changed from 2.6.39 to 3.10
* use python magic to switch between linux and linux-sysmocom
* add sysmocom-bsc to compatible machines for linux-sysmocom
* add new confiugration parameters for syslinux
This currently requires the meta-ti layer but we will make sure
that nothing from it will be required in the end. The kernel is
based on linux-3.2 as this is the "default" TI kernel that supports
the SGX (not that we care)
This is the latest stable kernel. I had hoped some crashes to
go away with it but it turns out to be a compiler issue that
we backported a patch for separately.
* The Linux 3.2.X kernel has some funny issues with GCC 4.8 in the
fs/namei.c look up code. It is easier to move to 3.10 than to fully
debug the issue.
* disable the mISDN loop patch for v3.10
* use the hack to make v3.2 compilable for edison and v3.10 for dora
Provide custom systemd config files to enable the watchdog handling. For
systemd we depend on the image containing and using systemd as init script.
In case we build images without systemd we will need to install the
old watchdog. Maybe it is time to create a MACHINE_FEATURE for watchdog.
The build differs in that it doesn't use a getty on ttyS0. In the fuutre,
a modified kernel serial driver as well as a 2050-specific utility
for managing the supervisor processor will follow.
