Intel DevKit

With the new Intel DevKit there is more support for packages like Vim, Nano, pip, IoTivity, etc. Ostro is the new project for Edison, like Yocto evolved. However; there is only available the files required to install it through a script, not modifying and compiling the kernel, the URL where the files are supposed to be is broken.

There is no such thing as Yocto 3.0 for the Intel Edison, the Intel IoT devkit is in version 3.0.

Missing edison-src Yocto for Intel Iot Developer Kit 3.0 https://communities.intel.com/thread/100796?start=0&tstart=0 Does this mean we can install it but do not compile the kernel? On april 12th, 2016, on behalf of the Intel Corporation: Hi bpenchev, We are still working on this, as soon as it is fixed, we will publish it on the community. Peter.

Edison image for Yocto 3.0 is just a blank tarball https://communities.intel.com/thread/100735?start=0&tstart=0 Tarball for edison-src was blank and now throws a 404 error, not found. http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/3.0/sources/i586-poky-linux/edison-image-1.0-r0/edison-image-1.0-r0-patched.tar.gz
