We should integrate Wayland as a distro feature in the next development cycle. The first iteration will be to simply boot up and start the Weston compositor, and the Wayland terminal.
poky-contrib:ross/mesa contains a branch enabling EGL that is a prerequisite. Also of interest is "lolos", https://github.com/dlespiau/poky/commits/wip/lolos, a oe-core branch that integrates wayland. The patches there that have not already been upstreamed should be reviewed and integrated into oe-core.
Created attachment 690 [details] Patch for xkeyboard-config One niggle that we'll hit is that Wayland wants libxkbcommon that wants xkeyboard-config that generates files using xkbcomp which wants X11. Urgh. The attached patch (from an upstream maintainer) can be applied to xkeyboard-config to remove the dependency on xkbcomp, removing the X11 dependency on Wayland.
Wayland support has been integrated in oe-core as of 94fcb80121b64974ff57b76275addaa684c559cf.
Verified. An image can be configured with weston compositor. I have updated the wiki documentation with the steps needed to create the image. https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Wayland
Set to verified, images can be created with Wayland support. Other bugs that treat various aspects of this features are and will be opened if needed.
