Description

OpenIOT CI integration has been disabled for a long time now due to no platform maintainer. https://github.com/ARM-software/open-iot-sdk hjas no commits for years now.

Maintaining extra code bases increases the burden on the SDK and since there is no CI, it is likely that the code will (or already has) bitrotted.

Expected changes:

  • remove CI completely
  • remove openiot platform files and references
  • remove docker file for openiot and integration in the vscode image
  • remove any additional dependencies (e.g. scripts requirements if they exist)

Research direction
Start by locating the CI configuration files (likely in .github/workflows/) that reference OpenIOTSDK. Then find the platform files for openiot under the platform directory (e.g., src/platform/openiot). Also check for Docker files in the repository that integrate openiot. Remove all references and ensure no other code depends on these files. Update any documentation if necessary.
