Documentation

The FSL Community BSP is a community driven project to provide and maintain a Board Support Package meta layer to be used with OpenEmbedded-Core and Poky.

It follows the same release cycle as Yocto Project releases.

It is composed by three main layers:

meta-freescale: provides the base BSP support and the board support for Freescale i.MX and QorIQ reference boards;
meta-freescale-3rdparty: provides support for 3rd party and partner boards;
meta-freescale-distro: provides images recipes, demo recipes, and packagegroups used to ease the development with Yocto Project.

Contributing

The development is centralized at https://github.com/Freescale. If you need help determining which project you are using, pick meta-freescale.

You can see the latest discussions in our mailing list (not used any more) at archive.

The known bugs are handled using the Yocto Project Bugzilla.
