The modular structure of the Yocto Project gives us the freedom to include external BSP layers to extend a set of supported machines.

The first step to enable support for Wandboard is to download the metadata of the BSP layers.

$: git clone --branch daisy https://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm-  extra.git 
$: git clone --branch daisy git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-fsl-arm

Using Wandboard with the Yocto Project

After completing this, we must create the build directory we use for our builds. We can do this using the following command line:

$: source poky/oe-init-build-env build-wandboard 

Tip
