Integrating the folliwing patch series from Cal:
This patch series refactors the ktypes so that base and standard ktypes
do not enable EMBEDDED, EXPERT, or DEBUG_KERNEL. The reason this
decision was made is because production platforms likely do not want
DEBUG_KERNEL enabled, and EMBEDDED selects EXPERT which selects
DEBUG_KERNEL.
A new ktype called "developer" was also created. This ktype
enables the options now missing from standard and base, making it easy
to maintain the functionality of a BSP through simply swapping the ktype
from standard to developer. The preempt-rt ktype is now based off of
developer in order to maintain its functionality.
The new standard ktype does not include EMBEDDED, EXPERT, or
DEBUG_KERNEL. Without DEBUG_KERNEL it loses a number of debug features
that are selected by default. Without EXPERT it gains RFKILL_INPUT and
DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT, while losing VMSPLIT_3G. These are only available to
configure with CONFIG_EXPERT=y and default to EXPERT or !EXPERT. Not
selecting EMBEDDED has no apparent impacts.
Some coordination is required for this change, as existing BSPs WILL be
affected, and will either need to accept the changes in the standard
ktype or move to the developer ktype.
California Sullivan (12):
features/debug: add debug-kernel feature
ktypes: add developer ktype
ktypes/base: Disable EMBEDDED and DEBUG_KERNEL
CONFIG_PROCESSOR_SELECT: do not enable
intel-common-drivers.scc: move profiling and latencytop to a new file
romley.scc remove profiling and latencytop features
bsp/intel-common: add intel-core* developer BSPs
preempt-rt.scc: include developer ktype instead of standard
intel-common: add intel-developer-drivers.scc to preempt-rt BSPs
CONFIG_I2C_I801: set option to yes in intel-core* BSPs
bsp: add developer common-pc BSPs
bsp: remove profiling and latencytop from non-developer common-pc BSPs

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
