Yocto Layers

The meta-cassini repository provides three layers compatible with the Yocto Project, in the following sub-directories:

  • meta-cassini-bsp

    A Yocto layer which holds board-specific recipes or append files that either:

    • will not be upstreamed (Cassini specific modifications)

    • have not been upstreamed yet

  • meta-cassini-distro

    A Yocto distribution layer providing top-level and general policies for the Cassini distribution images.

  • meta-cassini-tests

    A Yocto software layer with recipes that include run-time tests to validate Cassini functionalities.

Layer Dependency Overview

The following diagram illustrates the layers which are integrated by the Cassini project, which are further expanded on below. The layer revisions are related to the Cassini v2.3.0 release.

  • Cassini firmware images built for the Corstone-1000 platforms requires meta-cassini-bsp, meta-arm, meta-arm-bsp, and meta-arm-toolchain.

  • Cassini firmware images built for the Corstone-1000 also use efi-secure-boot and its dependencies to generate certificates for UEFI capsule images

  • Cassini distro images built with the greengrass-cloud feature also require meta-aws and meta-multimedia.

  • Cassini distro images built with the mender-ota feature also require meta-mender.
