Integrating 3rd Party BSP Layers

Good morning everyone,

I am currently trying to figure out the best way to integrate the meta-texasinstruments layer with the Yocto provided layers. According to the meta-texasinstruments readme, it requires the meta-oe, meta-angstrom and meta-oe-core. Now Yocto provides the stable meta-oe-core (correct?), so I would clone the meta-oe and meta-angstrom, add them and the meta-texasinstruments layer to my bblayers.conf then build away, yes?

However, what implications does adding these new layers bring when using them in the Yocto environment?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated on the consequences and/or my methodology!

The main aim of the game is trying to build an image for the beagleboard using the meta-texasinstruments layer as to get the latest and greatest support - with the possibility of using it later in the day when the beaglebones start appearing but with the stability and additional support that is acquired through the Yocto umbrella.

Kind Regards,
Jack.

Yes, all good goals and within the scope of the plans for meta-ti (aka meta-texasinstruments). However meta-ti is still a work in progress.

By the yocto 1.2 release time frame we plan to support and show the following layer combinations:

core stack: oe-core + meta-ti
yocto stack: poky layer set + meta-ti
angstrom stack: oe-core + meta-oe + meta-ti + meta-angstrom arago stack: oe-core + meta-oe + meta-ti + meta-arago

However at this time the only stack being built is the angstrom configuration.
