Meta:
Roadmap ID: TCWG2011-OPEN-EMBEDDED-CI

[michaelh1 2012-03-22] This blueprint has been obsoleted by the equvalent meta-linaro blueprints. Moving back to the backlog as a reference.

Work items (initial):
Find out about the community: TODO
Find any existing work: TODO
Introduce us and start the design upstream: TODO
Reproduce a console level OpenEmbedded build: TODO
Run on an emulator and verify: TODO

Work items:
Create a meta-linaro layer: TODO
Add support for Linaro GCC 4.6: TODO
Verify the console image: TODO
Verify the SDK image: TODO
Document and publicise: TODO

Work items (build):
Describe a base level configuration: TODO
Work with Infrastructure to set up a continious build: TODO
Start continious builds of OE latest with last released toolchain: TODO

Work items (Yocto):
Test the meta layer with Yocto: TODO
Fix to also integrate with Yocto: TODO
Document and publicise: TODO

Work items (other tools):
Add support for Linaro GDB: TODO
Add support for Linaro GDB server: TODO
Add support for Linaro QEMU: TODO
Report any issues to Peter and Ulrich: TODO

Work items (maintenance):
Document the maintenance and support plan: TODO
Add any costs to the monthly release: TODO

Target Linaro GCC 4.6 first. If it's simple, add support for Linaro GCC 4.5 as well.

Support all of the OE targets including the cross build, native, and SDK versions of GCC.

michaelh1 expects this to be a meta-linaro layer. It should probably be hosted upstream instead of on git.linaro.org.
