amusingly, the current AGL software is repo-based, and when you
check it out and "repo sync", you can see all the OE/Yocto layers that
comprise the current AGL infrastructure:
meta-agl
meta-agl-demo
meta-agl-devel
meta-agl-extra
meta-altera
meta-boundary
meta-fsl-arm
meta-fsl-arm-extra
meta-intel
meta-intel-iot-security
meta-oic
meta-openembedded
meta-qcom
meta-qt5
meta-raspberrypi
meta-renesas
meta-renesas-rcar-gen3
meta-rust
meta-security-isafw
meta-ti
meta-updater
poky
you've got contributions from intel, TI, freescale, altera, boundary
devices, renesas, qualcomm ... quite the collective of people
co-operating to make this happen.
