No worries. Take everything that I say as observations from a arms length distance to how things are maintained and the plans about compatibility, evolution, etc. So what I say, may not reflect reality :) > > You seem to be saying above that the meta-yocto layer is only any good for > providing the kernel framework, and as he is not using the framework (i.e. > using meta-ti) then there is no point in using the meta-yocto layer?

There's value, and Richard has covered it a few times on the mailing list. I probably wouldn't do it justice, so I'll wait to see if others with a better articulated description jump in. The linux-yocto kernel itself can work without any build system at all, so my point of view is different :) Cheers, Bruce > > I'm not trying to rile anyone up here, just trying to put the jigsaw > together as the picture looks different every time I revisit it!! > > Regards, > > -- > > Jack Mitchell (j...@embed.me.uk) > Embedded Systems Engineer > http://www.embed.me.uk > > -- > > > _______________________________________________ > yocto mailing list > yocto@yoctoproject.org > https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto -- "Thou shalt not follow the NULL pointer, for chaos and madness await thee at its end" _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
