Yocto is often seen as fairly complex, and at Bootlin we believe one reason for this perception is the unnecessary complexity of the BSP layers provided by silicon or board vendors, each of which often includes highly custom logic that isn’t needed. That’s why, back in 2023, we released meta-kiss, an example layer demonstrating how simple it can be to support various hardware platforms with Yocto, without relying on any vendor-provided BSP layer.
Since then, we’ve kept this layer up-to-date and added several new features. In this blog post, we’d like to highlight recent significant updates: an upgrade to Yocto Scarthgap, support for the i.MX93 FRDM platform, and the ability to build OP-TEE for the previously supported STM32MP1 platform.
