Potential Yocto Project 1.2 Features

Yocto Project 1.2 - Target release = April 2012

Yocto Project 1.2 Themes

The topics below are the themes that some members of the team have started brainstorming for Yocto Project v1.2. These will be improved with community input.

Yocto Project 1.2 Objectives

The objectives of the Yocto 1.2 release are to increase adoption of the Yocto Project.

Yocto Project 1.2 Theme List

The Yocto Project 1.2 Themes towards the Objectives listed above are:

  • Improved usability of the build system for new experienced users, new novice users and existing users.

Process for Entering New Feature Requests

  • Open a bug in the Yocto bugzilla setting the type of bug to be an "enhancement" request. The detail about the request should be included in the bugzilla report.
  • Create a new entry in the appropriate feature table below (Poky, SDK, Hardware)
    • Suggestion: start by copying an existing request as a template
  • Give the feature a short, descriptive name
  • Set the priority as appropriate (see the legend below)
  • Set the Status to "Review"
  • In the Source field, enter your name along with the origination of the request (e.g. OSV, OEM, Community) if applicable; provide as much detail here as you can
  • In the Comments / Bugzilla field, provide any additional information for the request includind a link to a bugzilla entry
  • Preview your Entry to make sure it looks ok and then save it

Legend

Priority: 1 = Must have, 2 = Nice to have but wouldn't block a release, 3 = Lower priority, desired, defined plan, 4 = Worthwhile ideas, no defined plan

Status: Accept = Engineering agreement to include in release, Review = Under Review for Inclusion in this release, Reject = Will not be included in this release

Sample Table

This is a sample table to show how to submit features.

Tracing/profiling HOWTOs Create a document or extend the current Yocto tracing wiki page to explain in detail how to use all the tracing tools in Yocto. It should detail not only how to use each tool individually, but also how to use them in conjunction with each other, highlighting situations in which each is most useful. There should also be some extensive worked examples of real-life use-cases and how they could be investigated using the Yocto tracing/profiling tools. 2 Accept Tom Tom 1.2 Yocto 1.2, from 1.1

Various Demo Videos The idea here is to create screen-capture type tutorials similar to what exists for the ADT Eclipse Plug-in. However, we want to contract out some help for professional voice-over talent to be used with the images. These don\'t have to be limited to screen-capture material but could include well-done PPT decks - similar to how other business units in Intel create various training modules. For 1.1 it would be good to capture the script for the existing ADT Eclipse Plug-in module and have it voiced over. Also, for 1.1 it would be good to create a similar module for the Image Creator application. 2 Not Started From ADT module and scratch ScottR 1.2 Q3 at the earliest

Kernel

Kernel Tools Implement plan for kernel tools 2 Dev (20%) Bruce/Mark Bruce 1.2 Yocto 1.2, from 1.1
use cases BSP config streamlining, building the kernel standalone, yoctoization, meta data sharing 1 Accept Bruce Bruce 1.2 Yocto 1.2, from 1.1
kernel bloat - development target = boot a minimal image in < 8M - development complete 1 Dev Darren Darren 1.2 Yocto 1.2, from 1.1, continuation needed?
Fast boot time 2 second boot time target 1 Dev Team Darren 1.2 Yocto 1.2, from 1.1, continuation needed?
Upstream config fragments Work with John Stultz to upstream a Linux kernel config fragment manager and rework the yocto-kernel-tools to use it. This will simplify our tooling and increase our usage/test base. 1 Review Darren 1.2
Real-time process-executed timers Timers currently run at the priority of the softirq that processes them and they are accounted to whichever task was preempted for them to run. This negatively impacts determinism and accounting accuracy. 2 Review Darren 1.2
Define Kernel policy We need to clearly document kernel policy and make the config fragments reflect it. This will facilitate a more modular approach to building BSP kernel configs, as well as make it clear what can be expected to be supported when running a "linux-yocto kernel". 1 Review Darren 1.2
