I understood that for a released BSP to be considered Yocto-compliant, the README.sources files is a requirement. > >however, as i read it, it's really only necessary when a layer provides some >binary content in the binary/ subdirectory. the guide then goes on to claim >that the meta-fri2 layer does just that, but i see no binary content in that >layer >-- in fact, none of the meta-intel sublayers appear to come with binary >content. so perhaps that part of the guide can be updated to refer to an >appropriate layer. The wording here does imply that the sources are the ones used to generate the images that would be in the "binary/" directory. Can someone tell me if it would be more accurate to state that the README.sources file simply indicates where the sources to build the BSP are period... regardless of whether or not any binaries are included in that directory? Knowing that would help me make sure this section is not mis-leading. Also, knowing that would help me choose an appropriate example to point to for the README.sources file. > >rday > >-- > >=========================================================== >============= >Robert P.
