I’m new to both ResinOS and Yocto so this question may be very obvious because I’m overthinking it but here goes,
I’m considering using ResinOS on a new development and see that my board isn’t in the supported list, and want to confirm I can build one (following the “roll your own hardware” instructions).
if you meant resin base images, then you could just masquerade your device as a Samsung Artik710 (this board has Cortex A53 cores also) ; please note that doing so you will not be able to update the underlying hostOS image from the resin dashboard by using the hostOS update feature provided there
The main purpose of my post was to check that it’s possible to easily build an image and that I wasn’t missing something obvious. It appears this is the case so that is great news!
In response,
That’s what got me to variscite initially we need some imx8 stuff though
Excellent, glad it can work
No I didn’t mean that, I didn’t realise one had been done for armv8 as I didn’t see it listed, but glad to see it should all be fine!
Hopefully try and do this over the next few weeks so we’ll see how it goes.
Once an image is setup, is there interest is adding it to the list of boards on resinos.io or not really?
Checking the resinos homepage though, I see its listed though under downloads.
I see your commits a few days ago so I’ll assume that’s the correct repository (to use as a guide)
Who decides which boards are officially supported? Is it possible to get a board added or contribute myself (so that it’s tracked and aware support exists)?
We are currently working in evaluating this board and a collaboration with variscite. In the meanwhile, any contribution on this front is welcomed but we can’t commit to bringing this board in the supported resin ones yet.
