The new layer can be found here: +https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel-qat/ + +Moved dpdk support to separate layer +------------------------------------ +We had some requests to make DPDK standalone so that it could be included +without bringing in anything else from meta-intel, as it is not specific to +Intel(R) hardware. The new layer is located here: +https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-dpdk/ + +Added support for out-of-tree iwlwifi drivers +--------------------------------------------- +Backport-iwlwifi out-of-tree wifi modules are now available via meta-intel. +Backport-iwlwifi brings the latest iwlwifi drivers to almost any kernel +Note that mac80211 and cfg80211 backports are also necessary, which will most +likely cause incompatibility with other in-tree wifi drivers. +See https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi for more info. + +Added support for out-of-tree ixgbe drivers +------------------------------------------- +The out-of-tree ixgbe drivers bring ixgbe support to nearly any kernel. See +here: http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/server_adapters.htm + +Added an implementation of Secure Boot +-------------------------------------- +meta-intel now supports a simple Secure Boot implementation. This implementation +consists of a single binary consisting of an EFI stub, the kernel, an +initrd, and a kernel command line. The binary is then signed via keys defined by +the variables SECUREBOOT_SIGNING_KEY and SECUREBOOT_SIGNING_CERT. These keys +should match the keys embedded in your hardware's firmware. +See documentation/secureboot/README for more information on this feature. + +Improved Yocto Project Compatibility status +------------------------------------------- +The common layer should now be considered Yocto Project compatible - it should +no longer modify OE-core values when adding the layer to your bblayers.conf. +The meta-tlk layer is still not Yocto Project compatible, however. + Pyro Release 5/2017 =================== -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
