== Introduction ==
The YOCTO PROJECT adheres to the guidelines set up by the Linux Foundation (add link here).  The YOCTO PROJECT compliance program has been established to support and strengthen the YOCTO PROJECT strategic initiatives and promote by use of its branding.
The '''Yocto Project''' compliance program strengthens the '''Yocto Project''' strategic initiatives by providing guidelines for the use of its branding. This program provides a minimum level of standardization in order to enable both individual contributors and corporate members to deliver implementations which support the project's goals and contribute to its ecosystem. In addition, this program is intended to provide concrete benefits by associating a common set of definitions with the use of the '''Yocto Project''' branding.  
*To encourage the development of and collaboration on the use of a common set of tools, standards and practices to reduce fragmentation in the embedded market.
*To ensure as much as possible that the tooling for these developments is architecturally independent.
*To provide benefits to membership in the YOCTO PROJECT.


In other words, the compliance program provides the necessary level of standardizations to allow OSVs, ODMs, Tools and Application developers to deliver implementations which contribute to and support the goals of the project and encourage an ecosystem to build around the YOCTO PROJECT.
Some of the goals of the '''Yocto Project''' that the compliance program is intended to strengthen include:
*Reduce fragmentation in the embedded market by encouraging collaborative development of a common set of tools, standards, and practices.
*Ensure that these tools, standards, and practices are architecturally independent as much as possible.


Compliance as defined by the YOCTO PROJECT governs the RIGHTS for the usage of the project name, Logo and marks in association with products, marketing materials, and announcements.  The YOCTO PROJECT brand guidelines describes how to use these RIGHTS. (Add document link here – document and guidelines are in development)
Compliance as defined by the '''Yocto Project''' governs the rights for the usage of the project name, logo, and marks in association with products, marketing materials, and announcements.  The '''Yocto Project''' brand guidelines describe how members that follow these compliance guidelines are allowed to use these rights.

Yocto Project Compliance Guidelines

Introduction

The Yocto Project compliance program strengthens the Yocto Project strategic initiatives by providing guidelines for the use of its branding. This program provides a minimum level of standardization in order to enable both individual contributors and corporate members to deliver implementations which support the project's goals and contribute to its ecosystem. In addition, this program is intended to provide concrete benefits by associating a common set of definitions with the use of the Yocto Project branding.

Some of the goals of the Yocto Project that the compliance program is intended to strengthen include:

  • Reduce fragmentation in the embedded market by encouraging collaborative development of a common set of tools, standards, and practices.
  • Ensure that these tools, standards, and practices are architecturally independent as much as possible.

Compliance as defined by the Yocto Project governs the rights for the usage of the project name, logo, and marks in association with products, marketing materials, and announcements. The Yocto Project brand guidelines describe how members that follow these compliance guidelines are allowed to use these rights. (Add document link here – document and guidelines are in development)

As with Linux, compliance affects the commercial use of resulting products or projects created by the Yocto Project. Personal use cases are not covered.

Note: The Yocto Project adheres to the guidelines set up by the Linux Foundation. Your right to use this mark is conditioned to conforming to the Linux Foundation trademark usage guidelines.

Compliance levels, Compliance Recommendations and Terminology

The Yocto Project compliance program defines steps to register compliance for both individual and corporate members.

Yocto Project Brand Documentation

Clear documentation how the brands can be used (logo, marks, palette, etc.) as well as when they can be used in conjunction with the above are found in the “Yocto Project Brand Usage Guide.” (NOTE: Brand Usage Guide is in process & will be available soon.)

Have all patches applied to BitBake and OpenEmbedded-Core (if present) been submitted to the open source community? Y
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? Y
Do all layers build without errors against OpenEmbedded-Core with only the dependencies/requirements listed in their README file? Y
(For BSPs) Does the layer follow the format defined in the Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP) Developers Guide? Y
Are hardware support, configuration (distro) policy, and recipe metadata separated into different layers which do not depend on each other? Y
Is a test report document included showing which combinations of layers, recipes, and machines have been tested? Y

Mentor Graphics Yocto Project Compatible Compliance Recommendations

Criteria Yes/No Explanation (if N or N/A)
Linux kernels are either based around LTSI kernel versions or a Yocto Project kernel version. Y Based on Yocto Project v1.1
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. Y
