Description Robert Berger 2018-06-03 15:39:45 UTC
in 2.5 yocto-layer was replaced by bitbake-layers create-layer

... well ...

kind of,

Is this really the template we want people to learn?

meta-my-yocto-layer
├── conf
│   └── layer.conf
├── COPYING.MIT
├── README
└── recipes-example
    └── example
        └── example.bb

or maybe better something like this?

meta-my-yocto-layer
├── conf
│   └── layer.conf
├── COPYING.MIT
├── README
└── recipes-example
    └── example
        ├── example-0.1
        │   └── helloworld.c
        └── example_0.1.bb

Besides:

WARNING: Layer meta-my-yocto-layer should set LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_meta-my-yocto-layer in its conf/layer.conf file to list the core layer names it is compatible with.
