Summary of Changes
The PR adds the virtual keyboard "Onboard" to scarthgap.
Justification
#AB2491688 requires the keyboard to be present on scarthgap as well.
The virtual keyboard "Onboard" (present on kirkstone) had been removed from scarthgap due to build errors on python 3.12. This PR adds back the same to scarthgap with corrections required for python3.12.
Implementation
Changes that differ from kirkstone:
inherit
ssetuptools3
instead ofdistutils3
. This change is required since distutils3 has been deprecated in python3.12 and the compile step fails. Since the compile fails, there are no packages that get installed.onboard_hover_seg_fault.patch
. This patch was found online here.Currently, when the mouse pointer hovers on a key, the app crashes with a segmentation fault, and this is what the patch fixes.
Other required changes can be seen in this PR in the meta-nilrt layer.
The keyboard can now be launched and used just like in kirkstone.
Testing
bitbake packagefeed-ni-core
)Tested by installing the built IPK on a VM.
