OpenEmbedded/Yocto Software Layer for Toradex Demo Images
=========================================================

This layer provides recipes used for demo images targeting ARM based Toradex
computer on modules (COM) featuring Texas Instruments, NXP i.MX and
Qualcomm Dragonwing SoCs.
For more information on available Toradex COMs please visit:

https://www.toradex.com/computer-on-modules

Note that the master branch of the layers is where the development is
happening. Do expect build breakage and do not expect us to give a solution.
If you need a more stable base use one of the release branches.

Dependencies
============

This layer always requires the upstream OpenEmbedded/Yocto layers listed
below. In addition, when targeting a Toradex SoM, the relevant layers for
that machine must be included as well (e.g. meta-toradex-nxp, meta-toradex-qcom
meta-toradex-ti, meta-toradex-bsp-common, meta-freescale, meta-qcom, meta-ti).
For oe-core machines (e.g. qemuarm64) no Toradex BSP layer is required.

Patches
=======

This layer is maintained by Toradex.

When creating a patch of the last commit, use

    git format-patch -s --subject-prefix='meta-toradex][<branch>][PATCH' -1

To send it to the community, use

    git send-email --to yocto-patches@toradex.com <generated patch>

I. Building the meta-toradex-demos Layer
========================================

Using bitbake-setup
-------------------

This layer can be used as a bitbake-setup registry for Toradex Reference
Images.

Get bitbake-setup (`git clone https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake`) and run:

    ./bitbake/bin/bitbake-setup --setting default registry \
        'git://git.toradex.com/meta-toradex-demos.git;protocol=https;branch=master;rev=master' \
        init

Change the branch and revision if you are instead interested in setting up a
release, such as Wrynose. For the latest release, branch and rev are the same
(e.g.: branch=wrynose, rev=wrynose). Specific releases can be set up by
changing the revision to the release of interest.

The master bitbake-setup configuration enables floating sources by default and
is used for checking out current development branches with moving sources, it
is not reproducible by default.

to build the demo images please visit:
