An overview of the meta-tegra BSP layer for the NVIDIA Jetson family of SOMs.
What do you do when faced with adding a new device to your Yocto/OE-based distro, but the CPU vendor can't or won't provide a BSP layer? Create your own, of course! This talk covers the meta-tegra BSP layer for the NVIDIA Jetson family of systems-on-module. We'll provide a brief introduction to the hardware, how NVIDIA packages its own BSP, and how that's been mapped into the Yocto/OE build environment. We'll discuss challenges with toolchains, bootloaders, handling hardware variants, binary-only software blobs, and keeping current with OE-Core.
