as i claw my through the bsp guide, i notice the occasional confusion between referring to the BSP layer itself and a machine supported by that layer.
a couple times, i've found references to the alleged machine configuration file "conf/bsp_name.conf" (which i'm changing to "conf/machine.conf"). and in section 1.4, i read the snippet: ///// start Following is a specific example to help you better understand the process. Consider an example that customizes a recipe by adding a BSP-specific configuration file named interfaces to the init-ifupdown_1.0.bb recipe for machine "xyz" where the BSP layer also supports several other machines. Do the following: Edit the init-ifupdown_1.0.bbappend file so that it contains the following: FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:" The append file needs to be in the meta-xyz/recipes-core/init-ifupdown directory. Create and place the new interfaces configuration file in the BSP's layer here: meta-xyz/recipes-core/init-ifupdown/files/xyz-machine-one/interfaces ///// end so we have a section that ostensibly describes the BSP layer "meta-xyz", but first refers specifically to the machine "xyz" (even though the layer is described as supporting multiple machines), and further extends the directory structure with the machine name "xyz-machine-one". is it just me, or is that confusing and contradictory? sure, it's excruciatingly pedantic, but is there a doc-wide standard for names to be used for stuff like this? otherwise, i'll just make something up to clean this up (assuming, of course, that it needs cleaning and i'm not just hopelessly misreading all of this). rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
