Wayland is coming

Me presenting a lightning talk at Embedded Recipes in Paris (26-09-2017).
A short talk about the choice of Wayland on embedded devices.





How to promote Wayland for embedded devices and prove it works fine for common operations?
I just decided to present my slides on an embedded devices : RiotBoard (imx6 solo).


On the software side, the system was built using OpenEmbedded (master branches).
Board BSP can be find here https://github.com/aragua/meta-arm-board.

I chose to run only open source and mainline software:
- mainline u-boot 2017.09
- mainline linux 4.13 with etnaviv driver
- Wayland 1.14.0
- Weston 3.0.0
- Mesa 2.17.0

I also chose to disable X support to run only Wayland and all apps as Wayland clients.
Wayland and weston recipes have been submitted to openembedded-core and be available soon.
