Hey Andrei!
Sure - we can prepare such a session - I think Agustin Benito is already organizing this one date-wise with the team.
Looking forward!
Tina

While we are in this Kanto transition, would you be able to provide us with a live demo of the main functionalities of the stack? I know we have been talking about that in the last call but I can’t remember if we ended up agreeing on such an activity. Is that something you (as a team) could prepare?

Hey Andrei!
Yes - all of that will be "fixed" and done the pure OSS way for Kanto. Also the latest LTS is to be supported there.
The reason for providing the meta layers for the Bosch IoT Edge Agent the way you have experienced is that it's "closed source" so there weren't many "nice" ways to do the Yocto integration properly unfortunately. These layers have stuck a little bit regarding LTS supported version due to the fact that we are migrating the Agent's development in Kanto and all the upgrades will be introduced there.
Now, having Kanto into the open - we can finally get on the proper Yocto track : ) As mentioned before - the Kanto meta layer will be available publicly in a GitHub repo and all the recipes in it will refer the sources available in the Kanto repos. Compatibility with the latest LTS is also on the checklist for Kanto.
I hope this info is helpful - please, let me know if further details are needed - would be happy to support!
Have a great weekend! Tina

Hi Konstantina,
Thanks for coming back to me.
I’ve ended up there at some point. The main issue is that it doesn’t support the current LTS version – kirkstone. It seems like dunfell is the latest supported. Also, the fact that the build metadata/layer is not provided as a repository – but behind a download client specific to Bosch – makes it hard for us to integrate. Are these all to change when you release it for Kanto?

Hi Andrei!
Thank you for the input and please accept our apologies for the late response!
The Yocto integration of Kanto is currently an ongoing work on our side but still – I can give you a heads-up regarding what we are aiming for there. The goal is to provide a single meta layer (e.g. meta-kanto) that will include a recipe per building block (e.g. recipes-connectivity/suite-connector_git.bb, recipes-containers/container-management_git.bb, etc. ) alongside an .inc file per recipe for flexibility. As it is still an ongoing work, unfortunately, there is still no official user documentation in the Kanto website. Nevertheless, as the Bosch IoT Edge Agent is a basis we are open sourcing as part of Kanto, you can take a look at its user documentation and the approach that we took there a while ago. The one for Kanto will be similar with regards to structure of the layer with the difference that all recipes will be built from the source that is now available in the respective public GitHub repos in Kanto.
Please, let us know if we can provide further information regarding the layer and/or a specific recipe upfront so that we can enable you in your PoC experience until we get the layer publicly available!

Hello Kanto team,
We had a call a couple of weeks ago where Kanto and Oniro Projects met and tried to have an initial assessment for possible collaboration. I have started to look a bit deeper into Kanto’s components to try to get hands-on/PoC experience. We are currently in the phase where we select the container runtime and while doing so we want to play with the associated support in Kanto.
We have mentioned in the call that our build system of choice is Yocto and we were happy to understand that Yocto/OE is one of the supported “distros”. I have checked the public documentation available at https://www.eclipse.org/kanto/docs/ but I couldn’t find any references for a Kanto Yocto layer – or similar integration. Could you guide me to where that is available? The current instructions assume a Debian-like host distro - https://www.eclipse.org/kanto/docs/getting-started/install/.
Thanks,
