Hello,
I am having a hard time finding the source code of the metis-dkms.
The one git repo I found as vcs.url does not exist publicly (https://github.com/axelera-ai/software-platform)
I would love to have the sources because I need a rpm instead of deb-package.
Cheers Tim

Very cool, please do keep us posted on your progress
There has been some excellent work done involving Yocto and Voyager/Metis, though unfortunately I don’t think there are any source files to share (as yet, anyway). The Metis Compute Board will run a Yocto OS, and Victor did some very interesting Yocto-based work around BalenaOS too.
It’d be good to put it in as a feature request in the Launchpad section of the community, if you like? It gets a lot of attention internally as a way to better understand what people are looking for in the Axelera ecosystem 👍
+2Hi
At the moment the metis-dkms package is distributed as part of the Voyager SDK in .deb format, as you said. But it could be converted into an .rpm using the alien Linux tool. If you’d like to try that route (please note this is not officially supported by Axelera, so results may vary), you could give this a shot:
# Install alien if not already available
sudo apt-get install alien
# Convert the .deb to .rpm
sudo alien --to-rpm metis-dkms_1.2.3_all.deb
# Inspect the contents of the generated .rpm
rpm -qpl metis-dkms-1.2.3-2.noarch.rpmLet me know how it goes!
What’s the project you’re working on, by the way?
Hi
Firstly, thanks for the quick response.
I am trying to add support for the voyager-sdk to a BSP that is running on an arm64 linux scarthgap-based system.
The BSP is being built with yocto, so there are a few hurdles (no apt, no dkms support)
So I was hoping there would be the sources of the metis-dkms available so I can build it for my target system, without having to implement support for dkms, because I think the challenge won't stop there.
Otherwise, a Yocto-layer would really be a nice thing to have for voyager-sdk in the future.
I will keep working on it and might come back here if I get some results or do have further questions.
