Yocto Driver\Layer for Metis

Hi Afik,

Thanks for the question!

Currently we officially support Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 10/11 and server. 

While there’s nothing useful I can say about official Yocto support, the SBC does run on a Yocto based BSP (Board Support Package), as you can see in our webshop.

Are you opposed to running inside docker? Our Arduino Portenta X8 host also runs a Yocto based OS, where I’ve run Voyager and Metis through docker (video).

What is the application that you’re working on?

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply!

My application involves real-time video processing (detection, tracking, etc.).

It also requires very fast boot (and therefore minimal kernel).

So Dockers doesn’t seem like a great option for us, and they are also not supported out-of-the-box on my yocto release.

Thanks,

Afik

Hi Afik,

Real time video processing is where we shine!
As I said before, we don’t have native Yocto support for the portenta at the moment. Docker can start automatically at boot as found here, but I can’t say anything about the speed of container startup.

I’d love to hear which solution you went with!
