It's a great goal.
I suggest that for now there should be some clarifications made up front
to help the newcomer sort out the differences between qoriq and iMX
support / maturity that they'll find on the community pages.
There appears to be two landing pages for Freescale community bsp work
product:
1) "Freescale Yocto Project main page":
https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-1616
2) "FSL Community BSP": http://freescale.github.io
If I come to either of these pages as a qoriq developer, I'm going to
become confused because the reality of the situation is that if I want a
stable, ready to use set of images or source that will build for qoriq,
I need to go to Freescale's web site and download the latest SDK:
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=SDKLINUX
As an aside, does Freescale formally test each official Yocto release
(e.g., Daisy) against their suite of qoriq development boards? I think
they just test their SDK.
My intention is to continue iterating with the help of others on the
"Notes about meta-fsl-ppc and QorIQ development..." that I emailed on
7/2. Perhaps the notes could become a QorIQ status page that both of
the aforementioned landing sites could include?
