Determine and integrate / create arch reference BSPs (e500, Cortex, ARM, MIPs)
This bug is for determining WHICH BSPs to start work on. The BSPs will be developed and tracked independently.
Bruce, you set Design Review - where is the design? Can it be pasted here for review?
Hi Darren, QA is trying to development for this feature, but now I am not very clear about it. Would you please tell me which BSPs will be updated and integrated? Do you think it is necessary to develop some special test cases for this feature ? Thanks.
I'd have to answer this one (since it's assigned to me). Right now the default is that we'll have the same BSPs in 1.2 as in 1.1. Any new BSP adoptions are still being discussed, and there is still no consensus on a complete list. We will have updated routerstationpro support for mips, and support for the pandaboard for ARM. Powerpc will likely stay the same as 1.1. As for tests: Standard: - typical BSP tests (build, boot, ethernet, serial - LTP/posix Extra: - Updated READMEs will be produced for the board listing the peripherals and hardware that will be supported. Those items could have specific test cases produced. But until the boards are updated to the new yocto kernel the exact list is unknown.
Due to some pending input, this needs to move to M2, and will track the kernel version jump when that happens.
Hardware reference boards will remain for 1.2. Newly released ARM targets and MIPS references will be considered for 1.3, but they arrived too late for 1.2 inclusion.
This is resolved for 1.2. 1.3 will have new references, since some of the boards that were under investigation have started shipping.
