No sweat. Over a year in and I'm still figuring things out...

I'd start with Daiane's docs on i.MX Community:
	http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layer/meta-gnome/

And O.S.Systems that describes how to specifically build for
Nitrogen6x:
	http://www.ossystems.com.br/blog/2013/04/15/yocto-with-boundary-devices-nitrogen6x-5-steps-only.html

Make sure you use the "dora" branch instead of "dylan" though.

Again, you should stick with "Dora" unless you need something
specific in "master".

After the repo sync, you'll need to pull in the meta-browser
layer:
	~/yocto/sources$ git clone git://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser.git

And you'll need to add meta-browser and meta-gnome to your
conf/bblayers.conf file:

BBLAYERS = " \
   ...
   ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-openembedded/meta-gnome \
   ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-browser \
   ...
"

And finally, you'll need to pull it into your build.
The easy way is to add this to your local.conf file:

IMAGE_INSTALL += " \
	chromium \
"

I'm not sure why, but when I went through these steps,
I got complaints about the license for libav and
was prompted to add this to local.conf:

	LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial"

I think there's something screwy with that, though.
The recipes in poky/meta/recipes-multimedia/libav/
appear to have a combination of GPL and LGPL
licenses.

We recommend the use of "nitrogen6x" for the MACHINE type.
The resulting image will run on either the SABRE Lite
or Nitrogen6X boards.
