again, a discrepancy between the docs and the source files. i
checked out the entire meta-intel layer, and below that the file
meta-crownbay/README clearly states:
"Having done that, and assuming you extracted the BSP tarball contents
at the top-level of your yocto build tree, you can build a crownbay
image by adding the location of the meta-crownbay layer to
bblayers.conf, along with the meta-intel layer itself (to access
common metadata shared between BSPs) e.g.:
yocto/meta-intel \
yocto/meta-intel/meta-crownbay \"
however, the ref manual, Section 4.1, "BSP Layers", suggests only:
BBLAYERS = " \
/usr/local/src/yocto/meta \
/usr/local/src/yocto/meta-yocto \
/usr/local/src/yocto/meta-<bsp_name> \
"
note no mention of including "meta-intel" layer. clarification?

Yes, I think that's as it should be - the general-purpose documentation
shouldn't mention specific layers. meta-intel has its own layering
requirements as mentioned in the READMEs for those BSPs. Also I think
the text mentions it's an example, but I guess I'm a bit confused since
I'm finding that in section 5.1. Example Filesystem Layout here:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html
Am I looking at the wrong thing?
In either case, possibly a note that this is just an example and that a
given layer may have its own requirements?

hang on ... i can see that meta-intel is a valid layer, under which
you can find conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc. and in all of the
*specific* intel-related BSPs, well:
$ grep -r ia32-base.inc *
meta-cedartrail/conf/machine/cedartrail.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-crownbay/conf/machine/crownbay.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-crownbay/conf/machine/crownbay-noemgd.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-emenlow/conf/machine/emenlow.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-fishriver/conf/machine/fishriver.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-fri2/conf/machine/fri2-noemgd.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-fri2/conf/machine/fri2.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-jasperforest/conf/machine/jasperforest.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-n450/conf/machine/n450.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-romley/conf/machine/romley.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-sugarbay/conf/machine/sugarbay.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-sys940x/conf/machine/sys940x-noemgd.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
meta-sys940x/conf/machine/sys940x.conf:require conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc
$
that *would* seem to require adding meta-intel to your layers file,
no? or am i misunderstanding something?

Yes, if you're using one of the meta-intel BSPs (and as you point out
that's mentioned as a requirement in each of those BSPs). But the
meta-intel BSPs shouldn't be mentioned in the generic Yocto
documentation (and aren't in the snippet you mention, unless I'm looking
in the wrong place?).

ah, yes, i'm looking at the *newer* version of that doc as cloned
from yocto-docs where Section 4.1 of that manual is called "BSP
Layers" and really emphasizes meta-intel and related layers and,
because of that, has some awkward wording that might mislead the
reader. if you want to check the yocto-docs version of the same
manual, you might see what i'm talking about.

Yeah, I do see... I think all the examples in that section should be
removed - some of them aren't even BSP layers, and at any rate we really
don't need specific examples in a generic section like that.
Posting an update to that section now...
