OpenXT is a bare metal, client hypervisor built for security. It is currently based off a legacy version of OE components and not designed as layer. The meta-openxt project is an effort to redesign OpenXT as a layer using the Daisy release of OE. This may change to master during this effort. Some of the end goals are to be able to tie OpenXT to specific OE releases, increase the range of build machines that can be used, allow other layers to be built upon OpenXT, and leverage more upstream code to ease development.

The current focus of the project is to get all the base images to build. When possible recipes were updated to the upstream version. For those where the porting of the patches required more effort, the original recipe was copied into the layer and maintained. From there the project will move onto generating the installation ISO. Upon confirming the installation functions as expected it will be examined what other recipes can be moved upstream.

At the time it is determined the layer is getting closer to be a valid replacement for the existing repo, a plan will be formulated to transition the repo to the OpenXT GitHub account.
