Is there a schedule for a Yocto Project "wrynose" release for the Metis M.2 card?

Hi rpjday, thanks for the question.

Right now the public meta-axelera layer (released alongside Voyager SDK v1.6) supports Scarthgap, Kirkstone, and Dunfell. There isn't a Wrynose branch yet, and I’ve not heard about a timeline on one.

A couple of options if you want to move forward in the meantime:

• The layer is fairly small (PCIe driver recipe and udev rules), so porting the Scarthgap branch to Wrynose is something you could try yourself, if that’s in your wheelhouse?
• Filing a feature request on Launchpad is the best way to make wrynose demand visible to the team. The more interest there is, the easier it is to prioritise.

Repo's at github.com/axelera-ai-hub/meta-axelera if you want to take a look in more detail.

What’s the project you’re working on that needs (or benefits from) Wrynose?

Currently building a Yocto Project “wrynose” image for a Rockchip RK3588S-based target (at the moment, Orange Pi 5 Pro), and even though wrynose is not *officially* out yet, all of the layers I need (OE, meta-rockchip, meta-arm) either have wrynose or master branches that seem to play nicely with each other, so I have a wrynose-compatible image running on my little Pro.

Now I want to add support for this Metis M.2 card, so I’ll take a look at that GitHub layer and see how little I need to tweak it to make it compatible. Might already be compatible for all I know given its simplicity.

Thanks.

Awesome, great work! Keep me posted - we’d be really interested to hear how that goes. If we can help, we will!
