[yocto] Yocto Alpha Test Program

[Sureau, Christophe]

Hi Yocto Team and Julie,

Below is my assessment:


a.      Which architecture you chose in step 3.

1.      Qemux86

1.      Poky-image-sato

2.      Qemuarm

1.      Poky-image-sato

2.      Poky-image-minimal

3.      Qemux86-64

1.      Poky-image-sato

4.      Qemumips

1.      Poky-image-sato

5.      Atom-pc

1.      Poky-image-sato

2.      Poky-image-sato-live


b.      How easily you were able to build an image and boot an image.

All images built stated above were done pretty quickly (setting up 8 core processor).

All images were successfully ran, except Atom-pc.

Atom-pc do not boot whatever target is used.

Looking at BugZilla, I found that it was a known issue 686<http://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686>, however, hddimg did not start neither on an Atom Touch Tablet from Lenovo (IdeaPad S10-3t) with a Boot Error (looking at image using "fdisk -l" is giving a lot of issues on partition table see attached in "FdiskReport.txt" File).



c.      Whether it was easy to find the support you needed to perform the above steps.

No support needed except for getting "Bernard-5.0-alpha".



d.      Which bugzilla reports you submitted (providing the bugzilla number and description is sufficient).)
None since the one I found was already logged in BugZilla: 686<http://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686>


e.      If you have the time and the hardware, create an image that boots on a netbook or laptop or other hardware of interest to you.

Built an Atom-pc image successfully.



f.       Boot the resulting image on that hardware

Booting images resulting from previous step was not successful.

-        Tried Poky-image-sato and flash ext3 file on 2 different USB HDD drive

-        Tried Poky-image-sato-live and flash hddimg on 2 different USB HDD drive

An additional comment:
When executing "source poky-init-build-env XXXX", this gives a list of some possible targets (4) and a link to poky documentation (http://pokylinux.org/doc/poky-handbook.html).
Looking at poky documentation, it is said in "Appendix 4. Reference: Images":
               Poky has several standard images covering most people's standard needs. A full list of image targets can be found by looking in the "meta/packages/images/" directory.
However on version we retrieved for Yocto Alpha Testing, this directory does not exist. Targets seems to be spread into multiple directories (considering "bb" files type)...

Hope this helps ! :)

See you,
Chris.
