Meta Soletta

The meta-soletta project is a meta-layer for Yocto that contains the needed recipes to cross-compile Soletta and generate images for a target board.

The meta-soletta is being supported by Ostro OS, an open source Yocto-based operating system for IoT devices, and it is highly recommended to be used with the meta-soletta. The Ostro OS contains all the optimizations required for IoT development.

The generated images are a snapshot of the operating system ready to be booted. It contains the necessaries softwares for an easier IoT development and was made with Ostro OS.

Here we've included two tutorials: one covers how to build with Ostro (highly recommended) and the other one covers how to build with pure Yocto.

Generating the images with Ostro OS

Ostro supports the following boards:

• Intel Edison
• Minnowboard Max
• Intel Galileo Gen2
• BeagleBone Black
• GigaByte GB-BXBT-3825

To generate the image follow this Ostro documentation: [Ostro Project - Building Images] (https://ostroproject.org/documentation/howtos/building-images.html)

Installing the images

To install the generated image follow this tutorial from Ostro: [Booting and Installation] (https://ostroproject.org/documentation/howtos/booting-and-installation.html)

Generating the images with Yocto

Only use these options, if you are an advanced user of Yocto. We discourage the use of pure Yocto and Ostro is highly recommended.

With Yocto only, we support the following boards:

• Intel Edison
• Minnowboard Max

To generate image with Yocto for Minnowboard Max: [Yocto Project - Building for MinnowBoard Max] (https://github.com/solettaproject/soletta/wiki/MinnowBoard-MAX-Instructions)
