Description Dave Stewart 2010-12-01 11:58:51 UTC
Jon Masters comment today - says the website is full of information but it's still hard to get a simple step-by-step walkthrough to build and use the bits for a particular board. I guess there is a something like this in the Poky handbook, so maybe we want to highlight this with a separate link on the site, like the BSP guide.

Another idea is to develop an actual piece which shows how to build by a particular (easy to obtain) hardware board.

Is this simple walk-through something other than what is in the Yocto Project Quick Start?  Are we talking about the steps to build a BSP?

There is ample walk-through stuff in the YP documentation.  The Quick start provides one for building and for using a pre-built image.  The new YP dev manual will provide several specific examples at release 1.1.  I think we should update the website with text that points the user to these resources.  For now I have marked this bug as an enhancement.

Scott,
Are these two links: 
- http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html
- http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/bsp-guide/bsp-guide.html

the walkthrough Dave mentioned? If yes, I think we can close the bug.

Thanks,
Alex.
