Hi all. I recently started working with Rockchip SoC`s and I currently have a Tinkerboard and a FireFly-RK3288 board. And as I recently enter the Yocto Rockchip world I have some comments and questions on the current setup/workflow which I found a bit confusing when starting out.
As I started digging to check the current state of the different layers it was quite clear to me that there where two different sets. One is maintained by Rockchip [1] and the other one by the community [2]. And it made sense to me initially. I do not know the full background story with the Rockchip layers (would be nice if someone could tell it :)) on what the intent was with "community" Rockchip layers. But as I looked in to it further it was quite clear to me that the Rockchip maintained layers are more "up to date" then the community ones. And then I started thinking on why are not these merged and we could focus effort on maintaining one layer. There are a couple things that are interesting: - The Rockchip maintained layers state that they do accept contributions trough pull-requests on github. So nothing stopping us there? - The Rockchip maintained layers supports more "community" boards then the community layers does. Bit odd? :) - The community layers are a bit outdated on older Yocto branches, master branch seems active though. - Trevor and Romain (maintainers of the community layers) are listed as maintainers of the Rockchip layers? [4] What I am really after is better understanding the workflow working with Rockchip SOC`s and Yocto and that is why I am raising questions to do so :). My plan was getting involved in one of the Rockchip layers as I have some improvements and I have some ideas for further improvements. And the goal with this email was to figure out where.
