# OpenEmbedded/Yocto Project BSP Layer for NXP's Platforms
Welcome to `meta-freescale`. This document outlines our commitment to providing consistent support and updates in alignment with the Yocto Project LTS release schedule.
This layer provides support for NXP's platforms for use with OpenEmbedded and/or Yocto Project.
### Dependencies
This layer depends on:
- URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
- Branch: master
- Revision: HEAD
## Branches
- **master:** This is our primary development branch, receiving continuous bug fixes and BSP upgrades. It represents the latest and greatest version, ensuring compatibility with the most recent Yocto Project release.
- **scarthgap:** Associated with Yocto Project 5.0 (LTS), maintained until April 2028 for bug fixes and until April 2026 for BSP backports.
- **nanbield:** Corresponding to Yocto Project 4.3, it's maintained until May 2024 for bug fixes and BSP backports.
- **kirkstone:** Tied to Yocto Project 4.0 (LTS), supported until April 2026 for bug fixes and until April 2024 for BSP backports.
## Maintenance Policy
- **Latest and Greatest (Master):** Continuous attention to bug fixes and BSP upgrades, ensuring that our users have access to the latest enhancements and improvements.
- **Stable Releases:** Each stable release is maintained until the subsequent version is released. This includes backports for BSP and critical bug fixes, along with updates for security vulnerabilities (CVEs).
- **Long-Term Support (LTS) Releases:** These are maintained for the duration of Yocto Project's LTS support. We prioritize bug fixes, security vulnerabilities (CVEs) updates, and BSP backports to ensure stability and reliability.
This policy ensures that our users can rely on consistent support and updates, backed by our commitment to delivering high-quality BSP layers.
## Release Cycle
- **Yocto Project LTS Releases:** Our LTS branches follow the [Yocto Project LTS release schedule](https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases), which involves a four-year maintenance period. A new LTS version is typically released every two years.
- **Stable Releases:** We aim to provide stable releases every six months, aligning with the pace of Yocto Project's stable releases.
