No, if you are already using poky, you wouldn't add openembedded-core to bblayers.conf and you would never add bitbake there (bitbake is the build tool, it's not a layer). > If so, why not remove this confusing reference to open-embedded? Most layers declare these dependencies because some users prefer to use separate openembedded-core and bitbake rather than the combined poky, and it is the established convention within the layer documentation to declare the separate dependencies. Perhaps we could be clearer in our documentation that poky can take place of those however. Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre
