Description Robert P. J. Day 2012-12-29 11:06:28 UTC 
In dev manual, "Chapter 4. Common Development Models", the example of developing a BSP simply starts referring to the meta-intel layer as if it's *required* for what follows.  It's fine if that's simply being used as an *example* of BSP work, but that's not the impression that section is giving.

It should be more clear that this is an example, and that something other than meta-intel is possible.
Comment 1 Scott Rifenbark 2013-01-29 20:09:06 UTC 
I have updated the introductory text and the meta-intel bulleted item text for the "Developing a Board Support Package (BSP)" section so that it is clear that meta-intel is not required in order to create a BSP.  

You can see the updated text at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.4/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#developing-a-board-support-package-bsp.

Please review.

Scott
