Branched Humble + Call for Beta Testing

OpenEmbedded support is marked as Tier 3 [s]:

Architecture Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) Windows 10 (VS2019) RHEL 8 Ubuntu Focal (20.04) macOS Debian Bullseye (11) OpenEmbedded / webOS OSE
amd64 Tier 1 [d][a][s] Tier 1 [a][s] Tier 2 [d][a][s] Tier 3 [s] Tier 3 [s] Tier 3 [s]
arm64 Tier 1 [d][a][s] Tier 3 [s] Tier 3 [s] Tier 3 [s]
arm32 Tier 3 [s] Tier 3 [s] Tier 3 [s] Tier 3 [s]

I’m currently working on a branch (:warning: Work-in-progress, don’t expect it work out of the box) to bring arm64 supported as Tier 3 [s] for OpenEmbedded using Yocto Honister (version 3.4.3, bitbake branch 1.52). Honister has only support for 7 months since its release (until May 2022) :thinking:, but those are my client’s requirements.

Provided that I have enough time, I plan to validate things for arm64. I’m currently looking for beta testers and volunteers that:

  • validate the Yocto recipes in arm32
  • bring the recipes to Kirkstone Yocto release

If there’s no community interest on arm32, we should downgrade the support level and mark only arm64 support. Similarly, it might be a good idea to annotate REP-2000 with the Yocto release that’s being supported.
