The README file in the meta-crownbay includes exactly what is needed to integrate the EMGD v 1.10 driver. But generally, after that users will have the next level of questions about how do I get video and audio media files to play correctly, or test 3D . This is technically not a driver integration question, but can be anticipated because you wouldn't care about integrating the EMGD driver unless you had media and 3D needs in your application/.
