OpenXT Layers
The OpenXT Project software utilizes the composable software layers provided by OpenEmbedded in order to isolate customizations, such as hardware, GUI environments and distributions.
The OpenXT Project applies the layering mechanism to support the coexistence of multiple use cases within a common codebase. This enables maximization of collaboration on common components while also enabling non-aligned stakeholder requirements to be satisfied in different layers.
All OpenXT Layers are subject to OpenXT Governance as described in this document. The the Project Governance Documents. The OpenXT Layers create modular governance contexts for specific use cases, target markets and operational models, with a narrowed set of stakeholders and increased prospects of stakeholder alignment within individual layers.
