I think what I can do here is add to the paragraph that talks about some BSP layers requiring additional layers on top. I can call out meta-intel specifically here and describe that. That section does have a link back to the "Understanding and Creating Layers" section in the dev manual where meta-intel is specifically discussed.

Day Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2012 6:26 AM To: Yocto discussion list Subject: [yocto] i think the meta-intel "BSP layer" needs to be clarified in BSP guide i think it would be useful if the BSP guide was expanded just a bit to make it much clearer that the alleged meta-intel "BSP layer" (since that's how it's referred to) is not *really* a full BSP layer but an umbrella over multiple intel-based BSP layers, with some common content. it's obviously useful to use a real example to explain how a BSP layer works, but it would have been more informative if the guide had used a truly standalone layer, *then* perhaps segued nicely into meta-layers like meta-intel and meta-ti, etc. as it is, i think the current explanation is a bit awkward given that the crownbay layer.conf file is explained before the first mention of the meta-intel layer. a simple solution might be a prominent <note> before all that starts, emphasizing how what follows is a little bit different since it involves *two* layers, not just one. then it would make much more sense. thoughts? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
