Since Vivado/PetaLinux 2024.1, PetaLinux is officially marked as demonstration only to avoid implying that AMD provides ongoing security updates. With the Cyber Resilience Act requiring clear update strategies, this tutorial shows how to migrate from a PetaLinux setup to a standard Yocto project (AMD Embedded Development Framework), enabling customers to receive upstream updates and apply patches themselves.
It covers creating a custom meta layer and distro, generating a hardware meta layer, adding applications, and moving from the Xilinx kernel to the mainline kernel, using the Avnet Ultra96v2 as the target platform.
