This layer may want to ship older versions of software than oe-core for some BSPs (such as u-boot), but we don't want to force those downgrades on everyone else. Unfortunately because the meta-arm layers have priority 6, any recipe in this layer wins over newer versions in oe-core: for example with an older release of u-boot in meta-arm, simply adding meta-arm to BBLAYERS will result in qemux86 downgrading u-boot. Solve this by lowering meta-arm's priority to match oe-core, so that recipes are treated equally and the usual version ordering applies.

Introduction
This repository contains Arm layers for OpenEmbedded
meta-arm: This layer provides support for general recipes for the Arm architecture. Anything that's not needed explicitly for BSPs, the IOTA distribution, or destined to be upstreamed belongs here.
meta-arm-bsp: This layer provides support for Arm reference platforms
meta-arm-iota: This layer provides support for Arm's IOTA Linux Distribution
meta-arm-toolchain: This layer provides support for Arm's GNU-A toolset releases
meta-arm-autonomy: This layer provides a reference stack for autonomous systems.
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
Reporting bugs
E-mail meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org with the error encountered and the steps to reproduce the issue.
