Paul,

Those are all good questions!

There are config files in oe-layersetup repository that correspond to specific 
product releases (coresdk, amsdk and mcsdk). They usually point to the HEAD of 
corresponding layers (same as arago-danny-config, for example) during 
development phase, and locked down to specific tags or commit IDs once the 
release is out. So, in order to reproduce amsdk-05.07.00.00, you'd need to use 
a corresponding amsdk/amsdk-05.07.00.00-config file with oe-layertool-setup 
script. That config file has all the layers locked down to specific tags and 
commit IDs, so the setup doesn't change over time. It also uses amsdk-specific 
integration copies of meta-ti and meta-arago repos for tagging purposes, or if 
there were any last minute fixes/hacks that didn't go into official meta-ti 
and meta-arago. amsdk-05.07.00.00 used the old Arago toolchain 2011.09, so if 
you want to reproduce it exactly, you should use the same toolchain.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks.
