Once you move beyond trivial images. The diagram is idealised but I think the concepts there are valid, for example, bring in the meta-linaro layer to use the linaro toolchain, bring in a BSP layer for a particular piece of hardware support and so forth. Certainly, a developer is likely to have local tweaks in a layer of their own on top. Why wouldn't that work? Cheers, Richard
