Description Aníbal Limón 2017-03-15 17:42:16 UTC 
Currently the script works on the poky/oe-core clone environment, this could cause problem when this environment is pre-modified for example when layers are added or configuration changes.

To avoid a this kind of problems the script needs to setup an environment, clone bitbake/oe-core and source the new environment to work on it.
