Adds a gummiboot class similar to grub-efi class and makes the necessary
changes so it can be used for live/hddimg images as well.
One can set EFI_PROVIDER = "gummiboot" in local.conf to use gummiboot instead of grub-efi.
Gummiboot requires some kernel options that are not enabled by default, so one has to build
with KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " cfg/efi-ext".
The install scripts have been updated too, keeping the old behaviour around,
but accounting for the new boot loader config files (if they exist).
It can be argued that the installer and bootimg are a bit wierd and not necessarily correct,
but I wanted to have the exact same behviour with gummiboot.
With the default EFI_PROVIDER = "grub-efi" nothing changes, everthing should be just as before.
I've tested live boot, install and normal boot on:
- FRI2
- genericx86-64 on NUC
with:
EFI_PROVIDER = "gummiboot"
KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " cfg/efi-ext"
in local.conf.

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, patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto: poky@yoctoproject.org
Most 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. 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.
