The new layer can be found here: -https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel-qat/ - -Moved dpdk support to separate layer ------------------------------------- -We had some requests to make DPDK standalone so that it could be included -without bringing in anything else from meta-intel, as it is not specific to -Intel(R) hardware. The new layer is located here: -https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-dpdk/ - -Added support for out-of-tree iwlwifi drivers ---------------------------------------------- -Backport-iwlwifi out-of-tree wifi modules are now available via meta-intel. -Backport-iwlwifi brings the latest iwlwifi drivers to almost any kernel -Note that mac80211 and cfg80211 backports are also necessary, which will most -likely cause incompatibility with other in-tree wifi drivers. -See https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi for more info. - -Added support for out-of-tree ixgbe drivers -------------------------------------------- -The out-of-tree ixgbe drivers bring ixgbe support to nearly any kernel. See -here: http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/server_adapters.htm - -Added an implementation of Secure Boot --------------------------------------- -meta-intel now supports a simple Secure Boot implementation. This implementation -consists of a single binary consisting of an EFI stub, the kernel, an -initrd, and a kernel command line. The binary is then signed via keys defined by -the variables SECUREBOOT_SIGNING_KEY and SECUREBOOT_SIGNING_CERT. These keys -should match the keys embedded in your hardware's firmware. -See documentation/secureboot/README for more information on this feature. - -Improved Yocto Project Compatibility status -------------------------------------------- -The common layer should now be considered Yocto Project compatible - it should -no longer modify OE-core values when adding the layer to your bblayers.conf. -The meta-tlk layer is still not Yocto Project compatible, however. - -Pyro Release 5/2017 -=================== - -Changed default kernel provider from linux-yocto to linux-intel. ----------------------------------------------------------------- -Linux-intel is an Intel(R)-maintained kernel based on the latest stable -branch, along with backports from upstream to better support Intel(R) -hardware. The intel-linux kernel also has a branch with the preempt-rt -patches applied, providing a preempt-rt kernel with no additional work. - -Added QEMU support. -------------------- -We now build several virtio drivers into the kernel by default, and -have qemuboot.conf files for intel-corei7-64 and intel-core2-32 -targets. This allows one to do basic testing on meta-intel images -without having to use hardware. The virtio drivers are added via -KERNEL_FEATURES_INTEL_COMMON. This prevents them from being added to -custom kernels by default. They can be removed by adding the -following to a conf or kernel bbappend file: - KERNEL_FEATURES_INTEL_COMMON_remove = “cfg/virtio.scc” -OVMF firmware is also built and can be used in order to emulate a UEFI -environment. A full runqemu command line for intel-corei7-64 could look -like this: - runqemu core-image-minimal intel-corei7-64 wic ovmf - -Musl support ------------- -Meta-intel is now compatible with the musl C library. You can specify musl -As your C library by adding the following to your local.conf: - TCLIBC = “musl” -Note: there is a known failure with DPDK. - -X32 support ------------ -The meta-intel layer can now build with the x32 tune settings in a multi-lib -setting, it will not work in as the primary MACHINE tune as the bootloader needs -to be built as a 64bit binary. The setup for this would be as follows: - require conf/multilib.conf - MULTILIBS = "multilib:libx32 - DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-libx32 = "corei7-64-x32" |
