   that's this board:

there's an alleged page for downloading an appropriate layer here:

http://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/GitGettingSTarted#Yocto_Project

with the instructions:

$ git clone http://git.rocketboards.org/poky-socfpga.git
$ cd  poky-socfpga/
$ git checkout -b <test_branch_name> origin/danny-altera
$ source ./altera-init build
$ bitbake virtual/kernel virtual/bootloader altera-image

but those instructions clearly won't work as that checkout doesn't
include the script "altera-init" and doesn't define an "altera-image".

   there's a much larger downloadable image called
"linux-socfpga-13.02-RC10-src.bsx", but it's well over 800M and is
defined to contain *everything* you need to build (that's all the
source and everything), but i don't want to go down that road as i'm
pretty sure i have most of the source.

   so is there, in fact, a valid meta-altera(?) layer of some kind that
defines the machine, image(s) and recipes for the arrow sockit board,
without cluttering the download with 800M+ of extraneous junk? thanks.

Hi Robert,

I recently went on a training day with EVB (at Altera offices) and they said the only supported method was through the Altera downloads and rocketboards community site, for there dev board. They were not aware of any 'meta-altera' layer (which is madness).

I am attending an Arrow training day in the coming weeks (where they give this board out for free) so it will be interesting to see if you get anywhere with this as I will be incorporating my own distro, and as such need a fully layered approach.

If you still need me to ask any questions in a couple of weeks I will do so for you.

Cheers,
Jack.
