Toaster architecture design
We are planning the capabilities of Toaster based on evolutive stages of implementation, using community feedback on each stage to plan, design and implement a set of capabilities for the next stage. In the first stage, synchronized with the planning of Yocto Project 1.5 release, we implemented the back end of a build analysis / image inspection module. As part of the Yocto Project 1.6 release, we built a web-based graphical user interface for the build analysis / image inspection module.
Toaster is designed as a collection of components that will run independently performing isolated functions. The interfaces between components are documented on this wiki as to ease interoperability with newer components. From design phase, we've taken care to account for further expansion needs, and account for scalability problems.
