After some frustration, plenty of bug fixes and heaps of help from members of the community; I believe that the layers are now well tested and fairly stable. As some of you know I run a small Raspberry Pi community site[1] and I would like to write a follow up to an earlier blog post about preparing yourself for programming on the Raspberry Pi with the Yocto Project. As I am no novelist I have put the blog post up on GitHub[2] and I would be very grateful if people would be willing to give it once over and point out (or patch!) any flaws. I know Yocto/OpenEmbedded/Bitbake can be a minefield for the beginner and I still sometimes get it wrong. If you are interested in contributing or making alterations I would suggest either cloning the repository, or editing and commiting through the GitHub web interface. Please use soft-line wrapping and take note of the 'similar' bbcode style tags. I plan to post it up in the next few days and try to let some people know in the Raspberry Pi community.
