This Question heading seems a bit inconsistent with what you are actually doing. Step 1 of getting EMGD on Crownbay is adding alsa to MACHINE_FEATURES for a BSP called meta-mymachine? This appears to be just trying to get commercial codecs working with accelerated graphics. The reason I raise this, is that while it's good to have these sorts of "Tactical" guides, if we aren't careful they can dilute the documentation space and end up confusing users more than they help. The README for crownbay covers what is necessary to enable EMGD accelerated graphics. Please consider renaming the title to someting more consistent with what you're trying accomplish. -- Darren > >> I'm interested to see what more was needed for EMGD and Crownbay than is >> already in the BSP README. >> >>> >>> In my opinion, we need to think about breaking this one big edit up into >>> individual How Do I's.
