Poky Hardware README
====================
This file gives details about using Poky with different hardware reference
boards and consumer devices. A full list of target machines can be found by
looking in the meta/conf/machine/ directory. If in doubt about using Poky with
your hardware, consult the documentation for your board/device.
This file gives details about using Poky with the reference machines
supported out of the box. A full list of supported reference target machines
can be found by looking in the following directories:
meta/conf/machine/
meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/
If you are in doubt about using Poky/OpenEmbedded with your hardware, consult
the documentation for your board/device.
Support for additional devices is normally added by creating BSP layers - for
more information please see the Yocto Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's
Guide - documentation source is in documentation/bspguide or download the PDF
from:
http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Support for machines other than QEMU may be moved out to separate BSP layers in
future versions.
Support for physical reference hardware has now been split out into a
meta-yocto-bsp layer which can be removed separately from other layers if not
needed.
QEMU Emulation Targets
======================
To simplify development Poky supports building images to work with the QEMU
emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures are currently
supported:
