To keep the meta-intel layer in good shape, all the owners of the BSPs in the layer need to fulfill these expectations.
1 Make sure the BSP is functioning well at all the times
Sometimes dependent layers such as oecore introduce changes which can break other layers like meta-intel, and BSPs within it. The maintainer of the BSP need to continuously validate the BSP with the latest dependent layers, to make sure it is still functioning properly
2 Prepare the BSP for release with every meta-intel release
This involves these things:
- git tag the commit of the release
- Get the "Yocto Project Compatibile" certification for the BSP from here: https://www.yoctoproject.org/webform/yocto-project-compatible-registration
- Build the binary images of the BSP with the meta_tlk layer, and make sure commercial licenses are turned off while building.
- Provide the built release tarball of the BSP for releasing to Yocto Project BSP release area
