Hi Joshua, I'd put your layer up on a git repo somewhere (GitHub?) and make sure you have a note in your layer's README file that mentions that the layer is intended for use with the edison release. If you're looking to maintain this layer for multiple releases of Yocto, it may make sense to maintain a similar branch structure - i.e, your master branch aims to build with Poky master, edison branch builds with edison, etc. Scott -- Scott Garman Embedded Linux Engineer - Yocto Project Intel Open Source Technology Center
