Layer consolidation
QIR SDK for Qualcomm Linux 1.0: three separate layers
For Qualcomm Linux 1.0, the robotics build of QIR SDK is spread across three distinct OE layers:| Layer | Responsibility |
|---|---|
meta-qcom-robotics | Core robotics framework: ROS nodes, qrb-ros packages, sensor drivers, and robotics feature recipes |
meta-qcom-robotics-distro | Distribution configuration: distro conf files, image recipe definitions, and package groups |
meta-qcom-robotics-sdk | Product SDK packaging: SDK artifact packaging tasks and the qirp-sdk recipe |
QIR SDK for Qualcomm Linux 2.0: single unified layer
For Qualcomm Linux 2.0, all three layers of the QIR SDK are merged into a singlemeta-qcom-robotics-sdk layer. The actual directory structure of the layer is as follows:
