ScottW514 562631d9bf docs: describe the firmware that exists; ship the NXP firmware EULA
README: replace the stalled REST/GUI roadmap with what the firmware does -
GRBL mode over TCP for LightBurn/UGS/cncjs, optional cloud mode, the web
control panel, cameras, A/B install beside the factory firmware - plus the
supported hardware incl. the 8 MP camera limitation and a real roadmap.

kas/README: xvclk is the board's 24 MHz oscillator; the pin/push rule covers
every source repo; camera and motion sections are hardware-validated, with the
OV8856 caveat spelled out; the device-tree item closes with the control_12v
residue named; forgectrl is the machine-services daemon with two supervised
controllers.

LIGHTBURN.md: drop the pre-first-light status line.

BUILD.md: state the NXP firmware licensing and where the EULA lives on the
machine. The image now installs firmware-imx-lic, so the EULA text ships beside
the VPU/EPDC blobs it covers; a bbappend declares that package at parse time,
which is what makes it installable from an image recipe.

DESCRIPTION = "OpenGlow/ForgeFIRM image for Glowforge"
# ForgeFIRM cuts the cloud dependency: drop the Glowforge cloud client
# (gfui-client connects to Glowforge's servers). Removing it here (override
# only; the shared glowforge-image base is untouched) also sidesteps its
# do_package failure. Its slot is filled locally by forgectrl (camera MJPEG
# service; the grblHAL controller recipe is tracked in kas/README.md
# backlog #5).
IMAGE_INSTALL:remove = "gfui-client"
# grblhal-glowforge: the grblHAL motion controller (Grbl over TCP:23).
# forgectrl: the ForgeFIRM control daemon (camera MJPEG service on :8080).
# gfhome: one-shot Glowforge web-service homing, invoked by the controller
# for $H when homing_mode = gfcloud (/data/forgefirm.conf).
# gfcloud: full Glowforge web-service controller daemon (the factory cloud
# experience), started when controller_mode = cloud - mutually exclusive with
# grblHAL. Pulls python3-ffmachine (shared web-service machine glue).
# v4l-utils provides media-ctl / v4l2-ctl for the imx-media pipeline (also a
# forgectrl runtime dependency, kept explicit here for bring-up use).
# fwup: applies signed .fw archives (ForgeFIRM upgrades + factory restore)
# to the inactive rootfs slot.
# ffboot: boot-slot inventory and switching (also ships fw_env.config).
# slotmigrate: boot-time reclaim of the legacy p4 layout (grows /data).
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " grblhal-glowforge forgectrl gfhome gfcloud v4l-utils fwup ffboot slotmigrate"
# NXP's firmware EULA covers the i.MX VPU/EPDC blobs the BSP installs, so the
# image ships the license text with them (/usr/share/licenses/firmware-imx).
# The SDMA firmware brings its own -license package through linux-firmware.
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " firmware-imx-lic"
# The release rootfs must fit a 200 MiB factory eMMC slot (409600 blocks).
# Sizing: content + 40 MiB working space, hard-capped at the slot size —
# the build fails rather than emit an unflashable image. The raw ext4 is
# deployed alongside the wic; scripts/mkfw.sh packs it into the signed
# .fw release artifact.

# name) plus a dev tag.
