     Registration date: 2 November, 2012
     Yocto Project Compatible Version: 1.3
     Compliance Agreement revision: 1.0


Acceptance Criteria:
  - Working towards and supporting the aims and objectives of the Yocto  
Project. These include decreasing the fragmentation of embedded ecosystem and  
focus around a common shared set of tools, formats and best practices. We  
want to avoid multiple groups of people repeating the same work and have one  
set of great tools rather than multiple tools with drawbacks.: Yes
  - Promoting the OpenEmbedded architecture, layer model, and BSP format.: Yes
  - Making visible contributions in the OpenEmbedded and component projects of  
the Yocto Project.: Yes
  - Be an open source project, non-profit, or member of the Yocto Project  
working group, regardless of organization size.: Yes
  - If the project includes build system functionality, are BitBake and  
OpenEmbedded-Core included as components?: Yes
  - If present, can the directories containing BitBake and OpenEmbedded-Core  
be clearly identified within the system and only contain those components?:  
Yes
  - Have all patches applied to BitBake and OpenEmbedded-Core (if present)  
been submitted to the open source community?: Yes
  - Do all layers contain a README file which details the origin of the layer,  
its maintainer, where to submit changes, and any dependencies or version  
requirements?: Yes
  - Do all layers build without errors against OpenEmbedded-Core with only the  
dependencies/requirements listed in their README file?: Yes
  - (For BSPs) Does the layer follow the format defined in the Yocto Project  
Board Support Package (BSP) Developers Guide?: Yes
  - Are hardware support, configuration (distro) policy, and recipe metadata  
separated into different layers which do not depend on each other?: Yes
  - Is a test report document included showing which combinations of layers,  
recipes, and machines have been tested?: Yes
  - If any item in the "Yocto Project Compatible Compliance Recommendations"  
list is not true, is this documented in the testing report?: Yes
Recommendations:
  - Linux kernels are either based around LTSI kernel versions or a Yocto  
Project kernel version.: No (explain below)
  - Everything builds successfully with the standard toolchain from OE-Core,  
where the architecture is one supported by OE-Core as standard. This is to  
ensure that your layers are compatible with OE-Core. It is not required that  
the OE-Core toolchain be provided to customers or any downstream projects.:  
No (explain below)
Explanation:
Mentor Embedded Linux works with a wide range of kernels and kernel versions.

Mentor Embedded Linux is tested with Sourcery CodeBench toolchains. Sourcery  
CodeBench toolchains can compile the OE-Core layers without modification.
