Professional Yocto Distribution Layer for Dynamic Devices Edge Computing Platforms

Distribution layer for Dynamic Devices Edge Computing platforms, providing a canonical Linux microPlatform (LmP) distribution with composable product features.

Overview

This layer provides distribution configurations that extend the standard Linux microPlatform (LmP) with Dynamic Devices-specific features:

• Security-focused configurations - Disabled zeroconf, enhanced security policies
• CRA compliance system - Automated EU Cyber Resilience Act audit event reporting
• Device auto-registration - Automatic device onboarding and management
• Platform-specific optimizations - Audio, connectivity, and power management features
• Commercial license support - For proprietary components and applications
• Composable product software - Headless by default, with explicit Flutter, display, audio and Android-container feature bundles

Documentation & Support

📚 Comprehensive Documentation: For detailed documentation, tutorials, and technical guides, visit the meta-dynamicdevices Wiki.

The wiki includes:

• Getting started guides
• Distribution configuration examples
• Build configuration tutorials
• Troubleshooting guides
• Development best practices

Supported Distributions

New product configurations should use the canonical lmp-dynamicdevices distro and select optional software with DD_PRODUCT_FEATURES. See docs/product-feature-architecture.md.

lmp-dynamicdevices

Base distribution with core Dynamic Devices features:

• Security hardening (no zeroconf)
• EU CRA compliance audit system
• Device auto-registration
• Commercial license support
• Platform-specific optimizations

lmp-dynamicdevices-base

Minimal base distribution retained for configurations that need its separate factory/updater policy.

The old headless, flutter, waydroid, and headless-waydroid distro names are migration-only compatibility inputs. Do not use them for new products.

Yocto Project Compatibility

This layer is designed to be Yocto Project Compatible and follows distribution layer best practices:

• Contains only distribution-specific configurations
• Does not modify builds unless a supported DISTRO is selected
• Passes yocto-check-layer validation as a distro layer
• Compatible with Yocto LTS releases (kirkstone, scarthgap)

Layer Dependencies

• meta-lmp-base - Linux microPlatform base layer
• meta-openembedded - OpenEmbedded core layers
• meta-freescale - NXP/Freescale BSP support
