Description Dave Stewart 2012-09-11 21:58:29 UTC

We need a tool like yocto-bsp which will create a skeleton layer. In Darren's words: "There is plenty of boilerplate junk that is still just
too easy to mess up, especially for newcomers."

Sorry if this was submitted in the wrong category.

Paul, I think I can base this on the yocto-bsp codebase and hammer this out fairly quickly, so am volunteering to take it.  If you've already made progress on this and/or want it back, let me know and/or take it back!

Verified with commit e5a2702653db082203455e3739d7838863c859ba, yocto-layer tool is available and can be used to create a skeleton layer.
