OE 2.2 (OE: OpenEmbedded) is successor of OE2.0. With the launch of the DM 7080 HD this branch was created. The following Dreamboxes are supported:

• DM 500 HD
• DM 500 HD V2
• DM 800 HD SE
• DM 800 HD SE V2
• DM 7020 HD
• DM 7020 HD V2
• DM 7080 HD
• DM 8000 HD PVR

At this moment the images will only run on the DM 7080 HD, and not on the other listed Dreamboxes!

OE changes compared to version OE 2.0

Extract of the opendreambox.txt:

• Added support for DM7080.
• If a recipe changes, the corresponding packages will be rebuilt automatically, in contrast to required manual PR bumps in the past.
• Each machine uses its own tmp directory again, like before 2.0. However, there is a shared sstate-cache, which allows to share already compiled data between compatible machines. This impacts performance and size of the build system, but improves reliability and consistency across builds.
• Support for machines without FPU and kernel versions below 3.x was dropped (DM800).
• Layers under meta-bsp were combined into meta-dreambox.
• Package Manager changed to APT. Default package format switched from ipk (opkg) to deb (dpkg + apt).
• dreambox-image was renamed to include the package format(dreambox-image-deb).
• Init System changed to systemd.
