The yocto-compat-layer script serves as a tool to validate the alignament
of a layer with YP Compatible Layers Programme [1], is based on an RFC
sent to the ML to enable automatic testing of layers [2] that wants to
be YP Compatible.
The tool takes an layer (or set of layers) via command line option -l
and detects what kind of layer is distro, machine or software and then
executes a set of tests against the layer in order to validate the
compatibility.
The tests currently implemented are:
common.test_readme: Test if a README file exists in the layer and isn't
empty.
common.test_parse: Test for execute bitbake -p without errors.
common.test_show_environment: Test for execute bitbake -e without errors.
common.test_signatures: Test executed in BSP and DISTRO layers to review
doesn't comes with recipes that changes the signatures.
bsp.test_bsp_defines_machines: Test if a BSP layers has machines
configurations.
bsp.test_bsp_no_set_machine: Test the BSP layer to doesn't set
machine at adding layer.
distro.test_distro_defines_distros: Test if a DISTRO layers has distro
configurations.
distro.test_distro_no_set_distro: Test the DISTRO layer to doesn't set
distro at adding layer.
Example of usage:
$ source oe-init-build-env
$ yocto-compat-layer.py LAYER_DIR

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.
