BoF: The Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded
summary
Open forum-style update on Yocto and OpenEmbedded that lists concrete outcomes and pain points: SPDX 3 support is merged so SBOMs can be produced, RISC‑V unofficial support builds but lacks autobuilder coverage or paid maintenance, and a funded layer setup patches in master provide an emerging layer-management tool. Talks surface tooling gaps: Java bootstrapping needs funded work, SDKs follow image contents (recommends vs installs confusion), overlay/delta images and u‑boot fragment workflows are feasible with current recipes, and testing remains constrained by available maintainers.
