When doing development for a new SoC or BSP, a series of patches are created to get the hardware functional on Linux, u-boot, and other software. Yocto can be used as an easy way to get a functional distro with these changes. However, it is often overlooked as a way to upstream those patches. This talk will cover using Yocto for this. Using a Samsung S5P6818 based board as an example, we will discuss the patches necessary to get the system working, updating to the latest kernel/u-boot, and pushing the relevant patches upstream, and tracking those patches. This will provide information and best practices for those in attendance.
