| Yocto Project Supported Architectures And Features |
| ************************************************** |
| |
| The Yocto Project is putting continuous efforts into testing the changes made to |
| the :term:`OpenEmbedded-Core (OE-Core)` metadata and core tools. The details on |
| how this test environment functions is described in the |
| :doc:`/test-manual/index`. |
| |
| These tests are also run for stable and :term:`LTS` versions of the Yocto |
| Project. See the :doc:`/ref-manual/release-process` section of the Yocto Project |
| Reference Manual for more information on these types of releases. |
| |
| The infrastructure behind the test environment is the |
| :ref:`Yocto Project Autobuilder <test-manual/intro:Yocto Project Autobuilder |
| Overview>`. The Autobuilder contains a set of Builders that are associated to an |
| architecture or a feature to test. For example, the ``qemuarm64`` builder |
| corresponds to testing the ARM 64-bit architecture. |
| |
| Below is a comprehensive list of target architectures and features that are |
| supported, as well as their level of support. For each architecture or feature, |
| their corresponding builders are also listed. |
| |
| Primary Supported |
| ================= |
| |
| The term "primary" means that dedicated builds for these architectures or |
| features are being run on a daily basis on the Yocto Project Autobuilder and |
| also tested with incoming changes before they merge. These changes are usually |
| on the "-next" Git branches of the :term:`OpenEmbedded-Core (OE-Core)` |
| repositories. |
| |
| Below is a list of primary tested features, their maintainer(s) and builder(s): |

| Secondary Supported |
| =================== |
| |
| The term "secondary" means that in some cases there is code/feature/support |
| which is desired by people using the project and is in the project's interests |
| to support, however there isn't wide enough interest and support to justify |
| testing all incoming changes on it. There are however project member |
| organisations and maintainers willing to run tests and review fixes. |
| |
| This category may be applicable as support/usage in an area develops and grows, |
| or as support/usage fades but we continue to have tests. It can also apply where |
| resourcing isn't available for full primary support but there is |
| member/maintainer support for running tests. |
| |
| We therefore have the following criteria and policies for such items: |
| |
| - It can be clearly isolated and defined by specific configuration. |
| |
| - There is a clear documented group of maintainers agreeing to maintain it. |
| |
| - Those maintainers are active and responsive. |
| |
| - It is being actively and publicly tested (potentially using |
| the :ref:`Autobuilder <test-manual/intro:Yocto Project Autobuilder Overview>` |
| by agreement, or otherwise). |
| |
| - Testing would not be part of standard incoming change testing and regressions |
| would not block incoming patches. |
| |
| - The :yocto_wiki:`SWAT </Yocto_Build_Failure_Swat_Team>` team would not handle |
| any test builds on the Autobuilder. |
| |
| - Test results can be submitted as part of the release process if desired. |
| |
| The Yocto Project :yocto_wiki:`Technical Steering Committee (TSC) </TSC>` makes |
| decisions on features in this status and Autobuilder testing. Such support would |
| be dropped if the maintainers/testing were inactive. |
| |
| If you are interested in providing resources for improving testing please |
| contact the :yocto_wiki:`Technical Steering Committee (TSC) </TSC>`. |

| Untested |
| ======== |
| |
| "Untested" means that whilst the configurations are present in the project, we |
| don't currently run the tests on any regular basis and new changes are not |
| tested against them. We may take patches in these areas if they make sense but |
| it is on a best effort only basis. |
