Yocto for Pine64

[mont3z]

Hi all,

just release an initial version of a yocto meta layer for pine64. Currently it was tested with my board which is a 1MB board. It currently just supports pine64 plus but it shouldn't be hard to have it working for Pine64 with 512MB.

You can find the meta layer and instructions here: https://github.com/mont3z/meta-pine64

All that's needed is to pick the right device tree file in u-boot (important to get Ethernet working since different PHYs and access methods are used). In case you rely on longsleep's u-boot branch it might already work (detection works based on available DRAM size and in case it's 512MB the other .dts will be chosen). As a reference the commit that made this work: https://github.com/longsleep/u-boot-pine...b4e12d2dd0

Hi tkaiser, thx. I'm gonna check this.

I'm gonna check this.

Great! I would believe especially the little Pine64 could benefit from full Yocto support.

I believe so too.  I use Yocto linux on my Intel Edison(s) and really like it; they are headless, but powerful IoT servers and Yocto is solid as the rock of Gibralter...

We use Yacto on our meters, I would be a big fan of a solid build for the Pine. Go team!
