VCT enclustra BSP startup

The upstream Yocto build metadata mimics the (original) Altera/Intel socfpg layers, but since it is a Brand New first release, it uses the mickledore branches and a KAS build configuration.

Quick start steps:

• cd somewhere
• clone this repo
• cd repo/
• create venv with kas and activate
• edit the KAS configuration file build.yml

1. comment the machine key at the top (if not correrct)
2. uncomment desired machine key, eg: refdes-me-aa1-270-2i2-d11e-nfx3-st1
3. do the same with the UBOOT_CONFIG env key, ie, choose the boot media
4. save and exit

• run sync/build commands via tox or kas directly
• sync the layer repositories
• check the contents of local.conf and bblayers.conf and adjust as needed

Notes on Enclustra BSP for Cyclone/Arria FPGA HW

meta-enclustra-socfpga has one branch: v2023.1

• https://github.com/enclustra/meta-enclustra-socfpga

Contains two meta-layers:

• meta-enclustra-module - BSP layer for enclustra
• meta-enclustra-refdes - reference design using enclustra BSP

Readme is not boiler-plate, but contians changelog and integration bits, some of which is shown below:

• Yocto branch: mickledore
• U-Boot: 2023.01
• Linux kernel: 6.1.0

based on meta-intel-fpga: https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-intel-fpga
