4 | Rocko Release 11/2017 | ||
5 | ===================== | ||
6 | |||
7 | Moved qat support to separate layer | ||
8 | ----------------------------------- | ||
9 | Quick Assist Technology (QAT) is more middleware and should not be part of the | ||
10 | core BSP. The new layer can be found here: | ||
11 | https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel-qat/ | ||
12 | |||
13 | Moved dpdk support to separate layer | ||
14 | ------------------------------------ | ||
15 | We had some requests to make DPDK standalone so that it could be included | ||
16 | without bringing in anything else from meta-intel, as it is not specific to | ||
17 | Intel(R) hardware. The new layer is located here: | ||
18 | https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-dpdk/ | ||
19 | |||
20 | Added support for out-of-tree iwlwifi drivers | ||
21 | --------------------------------------------- | ||
22 | Backport-iwlwifi out-of-tree wifi modules are now available via meta-intel. | ||
23 | Backport-iwlwifi brings the latest iwlwifi drivers to almost any kernel | ||
24 | Note that mac80211 and cfg80211 backports are also necessary, which will most | ||
25 | likely cause incompatibility with other in-tree wifi drivers. | ||
26 | See https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi for more info. | ||
27 | |||
28 | Added support for out-of-tree ixgbe drivers | ||
29 | ------------------------------------------- | ||
30 | The out-of-tree ixgbe drivers bring ixgbe support to nearly any kernel. See | ||
31 | here: http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/server_adapters.htm | ||
32 | |||
33 | Added an implementation of Secure Boot | ||
34 | -------------------------------------- | ||
35 | meta-intel now supports a simple Secure Boot implementation. This implementation | ||
36 | consists of a single binary consisting of an EFI stub, the kernel, an | ||
37 | initrd, and a kernel command line. The binary is then signed via keys defined by | ||
38 | the variables SECUREBOOT_SIGNING_KEY and SECUREBOOT_SIGNING_CERT. These keys | ||
39 | should match the keys embedded in your hardware's firmware. | ||
40 | See documentation/secureboot/README for more information on this feature. | ||
41 | |||
42 | Improved Yocto Project Compatibility status | ||
43 | ------------------------------------------- | ||
44 | The common layer should now be considered Yocto Project compatible - it should | ||
45 | no longer modify OE-core values when adding the layer to your bblayers.conf. | ||
46 | The meta-tlk layer is still not Yocto Project compatible, however. | ||
