When crypto is not in tune features then add +nocryto to -mcpu explicitly. This makes the behavior between clang and gcc match. Currently -mcpu=cortex-a72 has different behavior in clang and gcc in terms of what features are considered default. Clang enables different set of common features than gcc on other hand. For example clang enables crypto with default set but gcc does not, gcc recommends to disable unavailable extensions in -mcpu [1] explicitly. crypto is optional on cortex-a53 and cortex-a72. This is not as common but Broadcom SOCs in raspberrypi3/4 have dropped crypto for cost reasons [2]. This results in illegal instruction traps [3] [4] when building components e.g. chromium, qtwebengine, weston etc. with clang using -mcpu=cortex-a72 for rpi4 target. Adding +nocrypto makes clang behave like gcc does today. We do have separate tune if crypto enabled cortex-a72 cores are to be targeted (cortexa72-cryto) as DEFAULTTUNE They are added to default feature file since crypto extension is available in multiple arm architecture versions e.g. armv8, armv9. It is optional extension as per spec [5] Extensions can be enabled and disabled with -mcpu using the same syntax as with -march, and have same effect thats why it is intrumented via TUNE_CCARGS_MARCH_OPTS [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/ARM-Options.html#index-mcpu-2 [2] https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=207888#p1332960 [3] https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/85699 [4] https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/90365 [5] https://developer.arm.com/documentation/109697/2025_06/Feature-descriptions/The-Armv9-0-architecture-extension (From OE-Core rev: db1b355b2b15ba57bd89c2dfb88c2c667551863e) Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com> Cc: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz@cherry.de> Acked-by: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz@cherry.de> Signed-off-by: Mathieu Dubois-Briand <mathieu.dubois-briand@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for 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 BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/
OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.

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:
OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
- Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
BitBake (files in bitbake/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
- Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Documentation (files in documentation/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
- Mailing list: docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto
- Mailing list: poky@lists.yoctoproject.org
If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
