Its a distro layer much like other distro layers out there on layerindex and then there is meta-yocto-bsp layers which is much like any other machine layers out there. a difference to point out is that poky uses the tooling to fudge all layers together and create a single view and is a leading user of combo-layer tooling provided by OE-Core. Other distros keep the layers intact slugos e.g. uses git submodules to maintain its layer setup. angstrom has home-brew toolings and so on an so forth. Both approaches have its own merits. _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
