The official OpenEmbedded/Yocto BSP layer for Altera SoCFPGA platforms This layer works with poky and Angstrom Please follow the recommended setup procedures of your OE distribution. Choosing Kernel Versions ========================== This layer has a few providers for the kernel. These are the linux-altera, linux-altera-ltsi, and linux-altera-ltsi-rt kernels. There are also linux-altera-dev and linux-altera-ltsi-dev kernels which follow the current development versions of those kernels. To specify a linux-altera kernel, add the following to your conf/local.conf PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-altera" PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-altera = "4.3%" or for the linux-altera-ltsi kernel PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-altera-ltsi" PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-alterai-ltsi = "3.10%" Please note that older kernels will not compile with GCC 5+ and you will need to specify in your conf/local.conf to revert to older 4.9 toolchain. Choosing Toolchain Versions ============================= The default Toolchain for ARM in Angstrom is the linaro toolchain. To specify the use of this toolchain in Yocto add the following to conf/local.conf GCCVERSION = "linaro-5.2" SDKGCCVERSION = "linaro-5.2" DEFAULTTUNE = "cortexa9hf-neon" To use older kernels not supported by GCC 5+ you will need to use the 4.9 toolchain. For Yocto: GCCVERSION = "linaro-4.9" SDKGCCVERSION = "linaro-4.9" DEFAULTTUNE = "cortexa9hf-neon" For Angstrom: ANGSTROM_GCC_VERSION_arm = "linaro-4.9%" Send pull requests, patches, comments or questions to yvanderv@opensource.altera.com and raj.khem@gmail.com Maintainers: Khem Raj Yves Vandervennet
