Board integrations for the Yocto Project.
If you are looking for or writing about a Mender board integration that is not for the Yocto Project, please use a different category or use search.
When submitting a new topic, please
- follow the template shown after creating a new topic
- create separate topics if boards have different `MACHINE` variables; multiple `MACHINE` variables should not be covered in the same topic
## meta-mender-community
It is also required to add your board to [meta-mender-community](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community) and here are some steps that will help you get started:
- create a manifest for the [Google Repo tool](https://hub.mender.io/t/google-repo/58) to fetch sources from multiple repositories
- create template files, `local.conf.append` and `bblayers.conf`
- create `bbappends` if there are patches to be applied to e.g U-boot.
- create a PR with any code, manifest files and templates for your integration to the corresponding Yocto Project branch of [meta-mender-communtiy](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community)
For additional information check the [README.md](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community#structure) in meta-mender-community.
Here is an example [commit](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender-community/commit/58bb16099db976219c809709f0132b4c5eba2a3c) adding a new vendor and board.
The [general contribution guidelines](https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) of Mender apply to meta-mender-community as well.
## Incomplete posts
You are still allowed to create a post even if you are not able to full all the above guidelines. In that case you need to prefix your post topic with the `[INCOMPLETE]` tag.
Example:
[INCOMPLETE] LogicPD TI AM3517 SOM
You post should also have an “TODO” section outlining what remains to be done to be able to remove the `[INCOMPLETE]` tag.
