Hi,

I am v new to yocto; read most of the doc'n and skimmed through the rest.  I 
git cloned the dora branch, tag yocto 1.5.1 final

Here are my questions:

1- how come yocto-bsp tool wont work except when invoked within the poky/build 
dir  though e doc'n implies that new layers should be at the top level within 
the source directory?  Does it even make sense to create the bsp layer in a 
disposable directory that is not part of the repo?

2- ditto for hob?

My task is to build an arm8 linux image, where the specific board has not yet 
been designed (because of stuff i signed, i can only share that the image is 
being used as an element into modeling what the board should look like).  So:
3- how do you decide the approach you take in building custom image?  
      A- Do i build a64-bit arm8 linux distro using "yocto-layer create" and 
add within it a conf/machine?  Example?
      B- Do i build a64-bit arm8 bsp layer using "yocto-bsp create" and add 
within it a conf/recipes-kernel ? Example?

And yes: i looked at linaro but it is too deep and too wide/versatile for my 
needs, that I feel it is more productive to properly understand the build 
system and the right fundamentals/philosophies and do things as simplistically 
as possible.


Much Appreciated ...
