[meta-intel] [PATCH 5/6] rmc: add recipe and bbclass for feature "rmc distro"

Tue Jul 12 10:59:57 PDT 2016


The new added recipe and bbclass put modified systemd-boot,
EFI installer and rmc work together to enable a single
generic image, built for multiple platforms, automatically
applies customization specific to the type of a running board.

In another word, you will see a single image behaves differently
and intelligently according to the type of board it is running on.

To Enable this feature: add this line in conf file:
EFI_PROVIDER = "rmc-distro"

For a supported board, this feature can :
() show and boot with board-specific boot entries in boot menu
in live-boot and post-installation.

() apply a kernel cmdline fragment to the end of cmdline to boot
Linux kernel. This is effective for any boot entry user chooses in
boto menu.

() create directory and deploy files only for the type of the
running board to target's file systems. What left on target after
installation is just same as the result from installing a conventional
image customized for a single type of hardware.

To add support of new boards, a new variable RMC_DISTRO_BOARD_DIRS
is the interface to developers. How-to information will be provided
with examples in following patches.

+# RMC Distro class
+# EFI population is provided by EFI bootloader bbclasses and called by

+# from a non-bootloader project into EFI partition without an extra
+# change in OE to do so. These functions are not exposed and EFI_PROVIDER
+# seems the only chance we can ask image-live.bbclass to call a procedure
+# we defined.
+#
+# Ideally, we should have a way to call the ${EFI_CLASS}:efi_populate, and
+# append or prepend installing rmc database file logic to the base.
+#
+# This class works as a workaround when we don't want to cause a change in
+# OE. We simply copy efi_populate() from systemd-boot and append rmc
+# distro installation in this function.
+#
+# The class is also intended to be the switch of rmc distro. Set
+# EFI_PROVIDER = "rmc-distro" in a conf file to enable it.
