  i finally have time to play with this, and am interested in using
yocto to build a bootable system for the galileo. i see that there is
a version "1.0.0" of the firmware for this board -- is there a
convenient yocto recipe that involves just downloading the layer info
and not what looks like the current entire tarball that's stuffed with
all the sources?

  i suspect that, within a day or two, i'll figure that out once i
start digging around. if it's already documented somewhere, that would
be even better. :-)
