ochrin/meta-intel-edison

Here is the meta-intel-edison that builds, tries to stay up to date. A branch providing a PREEMPT_RT kernel is also available. Master is based on Yocto Poky Rocko, Andy Shevshenko's vanilla kernel and updated u-boot. It builds a 32bit kernel with ACPI disabled and corresponding rootfs.

meta-intel-edison Layer

This is the Intel Edison image layer for the Intel Edison Development Platform. It builds the boot loader, kernel and root file system for the Intel Edison.

You will find more (stale) details in the README file in this directory

What is here

This is a fork of http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel-edison/

You can find our latest sources on edison-fw/meta-intel-edison. The documentation can be found in the /docs directory or for the latest (master) on Intel Edison Image Builder.

Currently we have Intel's original (factory) firmware: orignal and created four additional branches: dizzy-uptodate, dizzy-latest, dizzy-rt and morty.

• dizzy-uptodate tracks origin/dizzy with 3.10.98 kernel. This branch pulls https://github.com/htot/meta-intel-iot-middleware.git branch dizzy-uptodate with fixes for paho-mqtt relocated and iotkit-comm-js no longer supported.
• dizzy-latest tracks origin/master as much as possible with 3.10.98 kernel. This branch pulls https://github.com/htot/meta-intel-iot-middleware.git branch dizzy-latest with fixes for paho-mqtt relocated and iotkit-comm-js no longer supported + java support removed. This gives mraa 0.9.0, upm 0.4.1 and mosquitto 1.4.
• dizzy-rt same as dizzy-latest but with real time kernel. Switches the kernel to the PREEMPT_RT 3.10.17-rt kernel.
• morty experimental branch based on Yocto Morty, vanilla kernel 4.13.
• morty-64 experimental branch based on Yocto Morty, vanilla kernel 4.13 (64 bit).
• pyro64 experimental branch based on Yocto Pyro, vanilla kernel 4.13 (64 bit). This version actually builds u-boot with bitbake -R conf/u-boot.conf lib32-u-boot (wiki to be updated).
• rocko32 and rocko64-acpi based on Yocto Rocko with kernel 4.16.
• sumo32 and sumo64-acpi based on Yocto Sumo with kernel 4.18
• • thud based on Yocto Thud with kernel 4.20.

What to choose

Yocto Morty and later will build on Ubuntu Artful (17.10) up to at least Cosmic (18.10).

Generally sumo32 will give best results if you rely on MRAA and UPM. If you want highly configurable hardware and don't need MRAA, the thud enabled version is best.

Thud has a 64 bit kernel because we can, but may be actually slower than the 32bit kernel. Master will normally have the same as Thud, but 32 bits.
