Releases

The current stable Poky release series is 3.2.x 'Purple' (initially released on 15/12/2009). New features in this release include:

  • "Canadian Cross" compiling for the standalone toolchain. This enables you to build toolchains for use on hosts with architectures other than the host sytems. You can now build an i586 toolchain on your X86_64 machine and vice-versa!
  • Packaged staging enabled by default. Packaged staging packages up the build results of each recipe. The next time you run a build which uses one of these packages the package can will be installed saving both time and space.
  • An updated version of the Bitbake build tool
  • QEMU GL passthrough mode which enables QEMU images to use the hosts GL implementation, taking advantage of any available acceleration on x86
  • meta-moblin, containing recipes and configuration for the Moblin user experience
  • the usual bugfixes, tweaks and updates to many of the packages
  • For more details please see the release information.

Don't have a supported device? Then check out the Quick Start section in the Poky Handbook to find out how to use QEMU to emulate a device.

Nightly Builds

We make nightly builds to test Poky and to make the latest developments available. The results from these builds are available at http://pokylinux.org/autobuild/.

Development Code

Poky is maintained in git at http://git.pokylinux.org/ which has a browseable web interface.

To check out current development code using git:

git clone git://git.pokylinux.org/poky.git

Poky was formerly an svn project and the former subversion web interface is available at http://svn.o-hand.com/view/poky and code can still be checked out using subversion from http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/poky/trunk however all history was imported into git and svn is deprecated and may be removed in the future.

Hardware Support

Poky currently supports the following reference platforms and derivatives;

Wider platform support is under constant development and new platforms are added easily.
