This post is to inform that meta-erlang has been accepted as Yocto Project Compatible v3 Layer.

The Yocto Project Compatible Layers is a program to evaluate and list all layers that follows The Yocto Project Layer Model.

On last December/2025, I received an email from Yocto Project managers saying as follows:

Dear Yocto Layer Maintainer,

Congratulations! Your layer has been successfully reviewed and is now recognized as Yocto Project Compatible v3.

As part of this recognition, you are granted the right to display the Yocto Project Compatible badge in association with your layer and related materials.
What’s Included in This Email:

Branding Guidelines to help you use the badge properly

In fact, I have applied meta-erlang through Yocto Project Compatible Layer Registration. And there was the final result.

What does it mean ?

The rights to officially promote meta-erlang as “Yocto Project Compatible” and publicly use a badge which informs the end user that meta-erlang has passed to all compatibility checks. This is the real value of the compatible layer program.

Also, meta-erlang is listed as compatible with a small badge on the Yocto Project Layer Index: https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layers/

In practical terms, I also added a new lux test which executes the yocto-check-layer check script in order to verify if meta-erlang is compatible and keeps compatible, Making Sure Your Layer is Compatible With Yocto Project.
