Description Tom Zanussi 2012-04-18 16:32:31 UTC 
The current yocto-bsp help text simply tells the user that meta-intel is also needed in addition to the BSP layer.  It should be more explicit about exactly what's needed, should be added to the usage text as well, and yocto-kernel should explicitly look for this case and error if meta-intel isn't found.  Ideally this should be generic enough to allow other layers to be checked for as well.
Comment 1 Tom Zanussi 2012-04-18 21:56:06 UTC 
I posted a fix to the help text for this.  I think detecting that meta-intel isn't in BBLAYERS for the user is something that needs a little more thought as to a general solution that wouldn't end up being layer-specific.
