Yocto
=====

The Genio Yocto Project provides a flexible environment for evaluating AI workloads using **open-source** frameworks. This section focuses on benchmarking tools and demonstration applications specifically designed for Yocto-based Genio platforms.

While this page highlights **Yocto-specific** resources, the core development tools, host-side SDKs, and foundational concepts are **common** across all Genio operating systems. 

* For detailed information on obtaining SDKs and host tools, refer to :doc:`AI Development Resources </ai_hub/related_resource>`.
* To understand the end-to-end AI deployment process, see :doc:`Get Started With AI Tools </ai_hub/ai-workflow/overview>`.

Software Architecture
=====================

Genio Yocto images integrate two primary open-source inference frameworks: **TFLite** and **ONNX Runtime**. These frameworks are built from upstream open-source projects and pre-packaged in the Board Support Package (BSP) to enable immediate evaluation.

The following figure illustrates the Yocto-specific AI software stack, focusing on the analytical AI paths.

Supporting Scope on Yocto
=========================

The available AI software stack depends on the hardware capabilities of each Genio platform. The following table summarizes the support for TFLite (Online and Offline) and ONNX Runtime on Yocto.

.. note::

   Currently, Genio Yocto images do not support Generative AI (GAI) workloads. MediaTek plans to introduce GAI support for the Yocto Project in **2026 Q1**. Developers requiring GAI capabilities should currently refer to the :doc:`Android </ai_hub/supported_os/android>` platform resources.
