1. OpenEmbedded BSP Layer - RaspberryPi
=======================================
1. Description
==============
This is the general hardware specific BSP overlay for the RaspberryPi device.
It should be used with openembedded-core (not old-style org.openembedded.dev).
More information can be found at:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/ (Official Site)
http://www.distant-earth.com/ (My Site)
Build scripts patched to support making a firmware image for the RaspberryPi
with Angstrom can be found at:
http://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/setup-scripts
When not depending on meta-openembedded and not using systemd, you may need to
mask few recipes requiring systemd or other recipes not included in your
distribution of choice.
You can achieve this by adding something like the following to local.conf:
BBMASK = "meta-raspberrypi/recipes-multimedia/libav|\
meta-raspberrypi/recipes-core/systemd"
You can adjust the BBMASK for any .bbappends that your distribution does not
contain recipes for.
The core BSP part of meta-raspberrypi should work with different
OpenEmbedded/Yocto distributions and layer stacks, such as:
* Distro-less (only with OE-Core).
* Angstrom (main focus of testing).
* Yocto/Poky.
This layer in its entirety depends on:

===========
* rpi-hwup-image
Hardware up image
* rpi-basic-image
Based on rpi-hwup-image with some added features (ex: splash)
* rpi-test-image
Image based on rpi-basic-image which includes most of the packages in this
layer and some media samples.
