FEATURES AND UPDATES

  • Integration of the Yocto Project and OE core completed.
  • Multi-lib chooses different architectures on a per-package basis.  For example, 32 or 64-bit. This lowers the footprint and results in higher performance.
  • Introduction of Hob, which is a GUI-based, customized image builder.
  • Layer tooling error checking and repository collecting and flattening completed.
  • Initial support for X32 completed. This allows running applications that use 32-bit pointers in a 64-bit environment (i.e. with 64-bit registers).  The infrastructure was completed and support exists for minimal images.
  • ADT improvements made, which include an Eclipse plug-in that supports system developers.
  • Additional ADT test cases added.
  • Broader BSP support for PREEMPT_RT added.
  • BeagleboardXM support pulled in from OE.
  • btrfs support added.
  • A new Yocto Project Developer Manual provided.
  • Disk I/O information is now collected using build statistics.
  • The ability to create user/group at preinstall added.
  • Shared gcc work directory added.
  • Cache redesigned and reimplemented.
  • Performance improvement measures, such as splitting libc and removing perl-native from build dependency added.
  • Tracing enhanced by adding Systemtap support for user space tracing.
  • 3G support added.
  • Linux kernel upgraded to 3.0.4.
  • gcc upgraded to 4.6.1+svnr178924.
  • License infrastructure standardized on SPDX license naming conventions with improved parser.

KNOWN ISSUES

The Yocto project uses bugzilla at http://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org to handle bug tracking. You should always consult that source first when experiencing any issue with a Yocto Project release.

  • Bug 1443 - segfault of lttng-ust applications in qemuarm: caused by prelink: on x86-64 Ubuntu host
  • Bug 1096 - Sanity checks should grumble if the distrobution has not been tested.
  • Bug 1489 - tcf-agent segmentaion fault causes the re-running remote debug fail in Eclipse (qemu). Workaround is to restart tcf-agent in qemu terminal.
  • Bug 1258 - [crownbay] Xorg eats lots of CPU time after standby.
  • Bug 1260 - Color ghosting occus on BeagleBoard xM rev C.
  • Bug 1665 - [HOB] deb/ipk build not proceed by showing some packages being built. The work-around is to set package format to "ipk" in conf/local.conf in the build directory instead of "rpm", which causes the issue.
  • Bug 1452 - 32-bit kernel generated oprofile data file cannot be read by remote 64-bit opreport.  The work-around is to NOT "prelink" during do_rootfs time - the problem is gone.
  • BSP README Files - Differences might exist between a README file in a released BSP tarball and the Release Notes found on the Yocto Project website's Download page for that same BSP.  To be sure you have the latest information, reference the BSP Release Notes from the website.
