Hi Paul, It does not matter where you unpack the meta-intel tarball to. All that matters is that you include it in the bblayers.conf file of your build environment.
Yes, you are right that you want to create a new build environment for your new Atom project. Do so with cd yocto source poky/oe-init-build-env buildatom This will create a new build environment for you and change directory to buildatom. Then edit con/bblayers.conf to include the BSP layer. The meta-intel is a container layer that contains multiple BSPs you will have to add the meta-intel as well as the layer for the BSP that you want to use in the BBLAYERS variable e.g. BBLAYERS ?= " \ <path to yocto>/poky/meta \ <path to yocto>/poky/meta-yocto \ <path to yocto>/meta-intel \ <path to yocto>/meta-intel/meta-<bsp> " Then you need to set the MACHINE variable in conf/local.conf to a machine defined by the the BSP. That should do the trick. And I now see that Sean has beat me to it. Now you have it twice. Cheers, Rudi On Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 3:54 PM, Paul D.
