* Fix typographical error in documentation. * Add missing instructions. * Create paragraphs where necessary to improve readability. * Change `note` box to `important` box * Remove verification of arm_tstee driver presence: arm-tstee driver has been integrated in Linux v6.10.14 which is the one used in the software stack. It is built as part of Linux and is no longer a loadable module. The steps to verify the driver presence are no longer applicable. * Standardise naming of the target platform: Consistently use the name `Corstone-1000` to refer to the target platform. * Update Debian OS version from 12.4 to 12.7 Debian version 12.4 has a bug in Shim 15.7. This bug causes a fatal error when attempting to boot media installer for Debian,and resets the platform before installation starts. A patch to skip the Shim was applied to Corstone-1000 to avoid the error. Debian version 12.7 no longer has the bug in the Shim thus making the usage of the patch redundant. Bump Debian installer to version 12.7 and remove usage of the patch for the Debian installation test. * Replace xterm with tmux: Update the user guide to specify tmux instead of xterm. Using tmux as opposed to xterm provides a better user experience when running the commands listed on the user guide. * Use ACS image for FVP SystemReady test: Due to fixed timeout values in the meta-arm-systemready the ACS time test do not complete successfully. Instead, specify commands to use the pre-built ACS image. * List Trusted Services as a host component: Add Trusted Services to the list of components used on the Host processor of the Corstone-1000. The various BitBake recipes and append files used to build Trusted Services are listed for the component. * Update release version to CORSTONE1000-2024.11: All references to the version of the Corstone-1000 software reference stack have been updated from CORSTONE1000-2024.06 to CORSTONE1000-2024.11. Add to the changelog the 2024.11 release information. Add the 2024.11 release notes.

Introduction
This repository contains the Arm layers for OpenEmbedded.
-
meta-arm
This layer contains general recipes for the Arm architecture, such as firmware, FVPs, and Arm-specific integration.
-
meta-arm-bsp
This layer contains machines for Arm reference platforms, for example FVP Base, Corstone1000, and Juno.
-
meta-arm-toolchain
This layer contains recipes for Arm's binary toolchains (GCC and Clang for -A and -M), and a recipe to build Arm's GCC.
Other Directories
-
ci
This directory contains gitlab continuous integration configuration files (KAS yaml files) as well as scripts needed for this.
-
documentation
This directory contains information on the files in this repository, building, and other relevant documents.
-
kas
This directory contains KAS yaml files to describe builds for systems not used in CI.
-
scripts
This directory contains scripts used in running the CI tests.
Mailing List
To interact with the meta-arm developer community, please email the meta-arm mailing list at meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org. Currently, it is configured to only allow emails to members from those subscribed. To subscribe to the meta-arm mailing list, please go to https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/meta-arm
Contributing
Currently, we only accept patches from the meta-arm mailing list. For general information on how to submit a patch, please read https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
E-mail meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org with patches created using this process. You can configure git-send-email to automatically use this address for the meta-arm repository with the following git command:
$ git config --local --add sendemail.to meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org
Commits and patches added should follow the OpenEmbedded patch guidelines:
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines
The component being changed in the shortlog should be prefixed with the layer name (without the meta- prefix), for example:
arm-bsp/trusted-firmware-a: decrease frobbing level
arm-toolchain/gcc: enable foobar v2
All contributions are under the MIT License.

For information on the continuous integration done on meta-arm and how to use it, go to continuous-integration-and-kas.md.
Backporting
Backporting patches to older releases may be done upon request, but only after a version of the patch has been accepted into the master branch. This is done by adding the branch name to email subject line. This should be between the square brackets (e.g., "[" and "]"), and before or after the "PATCH". For example,
[nanbield PATCH] arm/linux-yocto: backport patch to fix 6.5.13 networking issues
Automatic backporting will be done to all branches if the "Fixes: " wording is added to the patch commit message. This is similar to how the Linux kernel community does their LTS kernel backporting. For more information see the "Fixes" portion of https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#submittingpatches
