The system release package contains the following:
- A common BSP supporting multiple platforms, reducing the need for individual BSP builds
- Multiple images that are geared to general baseline use cases including Ubuntu.
- Yocto build scripts.
- Ubuntu build scripts
- Host side tools.
- Environmental files.
- SDKs for all images
- Documentation which includes
- User manual
- Copyright & license information
Features
- Architected to support multiple platforms by the same image and tools over time.
- A common BSP for multiple platforms.
- Identification of boards through revision ids.
- Device trees are used all the way from flashing tools, firmware, bootloader to Linux kernel.
- Common frameworks.
- Open-source packages using GPLv2 and GPLv3 packages.
- Carefully considered base images that allow for a quick starting point to build a product.
