Thank you for the reply Zhenhua.
Here's my fundamental problem (as I see it):
Let's say we're getting ready to release a product using the FSL SDK 1.5
for QorIQ. I assume there are many customers to the 1.5 SDK and bugs
are being found & reported on a regular basis. Some of these bugs will
not be seen here during development but eventually impact our product in
the field.
Freescale has a private service request (SR) system for supporting SDK
bug requests and also offers paid premium SDK support.
How can I use the systems in place (e.g., FSL public git and
Yoctoproject.org) to learn which SDK bugs have been reported and patched
and then grab the appropriate patches to create an incremental build?
It's not sufficient to only have a system in place to help resolve the
bugs we find ourselves.
As far as I know, the yocto repos never contain enough data to build the
FSL SDK (some of the data on the SDK is kept private), and the FSL
public git seems to be significantly behind (at least meta-fsl-ppc).
It seems to me that Freescale should have a customer visible bug
reporting system in place for their SDK and maintain a complete,
up-to-date SDK branch with patches in response to the bugs reported &
closed out.
If IP protection is the reason to not do it, then deploy it on an
extranet that is password protected.
Lastly, is there a mail list for the FSL public git?
Thank you,
Bob
