The poky repository master branch is gone & qemux86-64 – whinlatter

Key takeaways The article discusses the implications of the poky master branch being no longer updated as of November 7th, 2025. It introduces two options: individual clones of BitBake and layers, or using the new bitbake-setup tool for building ‘images’, but focuses on the bitbake-setup tool. The focus is on building a ‘core-image-minimal’ for the ‘qemux86-64’ emulator using the Reliable Embedded Systems build framework. Users can expect a step-by-step guide on installing Docker, setting up the build environment, and running QEMU. The conclusion highlights the utility of a ‘Build Container’ for creating images suitable for QEMU emulation. https://reliableembeddedsystems.com/res-build-framework-qemux86-64-whinlatter/

Reliable Embedded Systems – Robert Berger e.U. build framework & qemux86-64-virt-master Objectives Can the Reliable Embedded Systems – Robert Berger e.U. Yocto Project®/OpenEmbedded build environment and QEMU work together? Or do we need real hardware? Let's have a look! We'll build an image - a "core-image-minimal" - for the qemux86-64 emulator. We'll try to execute the image with the emulator. https://reliableembeddedsystems.com/res-build-framework-qemux86-64-virt-master-nanbield/ https://reliableembeddedsystems.com/res-build-framework-qemux86-64-virt-master-nanbield/
