Still a bit up in the air with this here Robert.

I've not been able to work out if there's a primary source for
meta-clanton independent
of the packaged iot layer, so I grabbed meta-intel-iot-devkit in its
entirety from
 git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-intel-iot-devkit

I built one of my own custom mono images based on core-image-sato
thinking I could
put that on a uSD and it would "just boot" (oh the optimism... :)

No joy there so I took a quick look through that Quark BSP guide and it
seemed to be
talking about booting some odd kind of image format from a file on uSD.

I stepped back and had it build the iot-devkit-image which seemed to
need be to make a
change to an image dependency on python to python-core.

That's where I had to leave it as I ran out of time. I was planning on
hooking up serial to the
Tx/Rx pins to see if anything is happening there, getting something
building, then replacing
the meta-intel-iot-devkit references in BBLAYERS (aside from
meta-clanton) with the daisy
layers I'm using on a day to day basis.

Will let you know once I get a bit of life out of it!

Cheers, Alex
