[yocto] NVIDIA or AMD accelerated graphics on x86 or x86-64 machine architecture

[Matt Ervin]

I’m creating a poky (sumo branch) based OS image for x86_64 PC hardware. 
It’s an embedded device that is essentially a desktop PC in a box with 
additional features. My device requires accelerated graphics (either 
NVIDIA or AMD, not Intel) and I’m having difficulty identifying which 
layer and recipe to use for either device. Are there any recipes that 
encapsulate the NVIDIA Linux desktop binary drivers for x86? If not then 
are there any consultants willing to sell me some time to help me create 
one, or to create one for me? I did some google searching and found a 
layer from OakLabs, but it doesn’t work (at least not with the sumo 
branch). The README file in the recipe also states that it’s likely to 
break the build, and it did produce errors for me. I’m not familiar with 
AMD on Linux so I don’t know if the xf86-video-ati recipe in the meta-oe 
layer provides accelerated desktop drivers or, if it does, which AMD 
devices it supports. I’m obviously very new to Yocto so any guidance is 
greatly appreciated.
