meta-coral maintenance

[embetrix]

hello, is this layer still in maintenance ? any plan to support new yocto releases ?

+1, also interested in this.

Hi, thank you for showing interest.

I have neglected this project for a while now, mostly due to other responsibilities and due to the fact that I have no self-interest to maintain this as I do not have any current projects based on the Coral board.

Last time around @kraj did most of the work, to get something working on a more recent release. I do not know if he has the time or the will to do this again.

But given that it seems to have a user base, which you have shown by creating this ticket, my motivation also goes up and I will investigate how to proceed.

Good to hear @mirzak !

I'd be willing to help/contribute to some extent. If nothing else: I have a coral board that I can use for testing or reproducing bugs.

I'd rather contribute here than start developing a fork.

@mirzak same here

@mirzak it looks like there is already support for new yocto version on :

https://github.com/YoeDistro/meta-coral/commits/yoe/master/

would be possible to merge those changes back here ?

Started working on this, tracking progress here: #60

Adding this here for visibility (from comment),

@mirzak I started a layer from scratch https://github.com/embetrix/meta-coral-ai

I fixed u-boot imx and it's booting, next steps is to add recipes for libegdtpu and pycoral.

I almost took nothing from here, I would like to maintain it on my own and of course you are welcome if you like to support.

best regards
