Raspberry Pi hardware requires firmware that supersedes or is not present in the standard linux-firmware distribution. These files are maintained in the RPi-Distro project on github. Several attempts have been made to reconcile conflicts between what's in linux-firmware and what the hardware needs. The existing approach is functional but not maintainable since it combines material from three repositories into a single package that claims to be linux-firmware. Remove the appends that change the content of linux-firmware for rpi hardware. Add two new recipes that follow the RPi-Distro repositories: * firmware-nonfree which forked from linux-firmware and replaces content is provided as linux-firmware-rpidistro; * bluez-firmware which forked from (very old) bluez and adds content is provided as bluez-firmware-rpidistro. The packages are named to make clear that these come from RPi-Distro, rather than generic sources. Licensing attempts to record the state of licensing as documented in RPi-Distro.

Description
This is the general hardware specific BSP overlay for the RaspberryPi device.
More information can be found at: http://www.raspberrypi.org/ (Official Site)
The core BSP part of meta-raspberrypi should work with different OpenEmbedded/Yocto distributions and layer stacks, such as:
- Distro-less (only with OE-Core).
- Angstrom.
- Yocto/Poky (main focus of testing).
Dependencies
This layer depends on:
-
URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
- branch: master
- revision: HEAD
-
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
- layers: meta-oe, meta-multimedia, meta-networking, meta-python
- branch: master
- revision: HEAD
Quick Start
- source poky/oe-init-build-env rpi-build
- Add this layer to bblayers.conf and the dependencies above
- Set MACHINE in local.conf to one of the supported boards
- bitbake core-image-base
- dd to a SD card the generated sdimg file (use xzcat if rpi-sdimg.xz is used)
- Boot your RPI.
