At least here's how I did it on a recent project. You just have to 
switch to the "mickledore" branches of the repositories you're using 
(such as poky and layer repositories), and then try to build your images 
with your own layers. There will be issues that you will have to fix by 
updating your configuration and your own layers (preferably in a new 
"mickledore" branch too).

Don't worry, error messages are pretty helpful and updating to 
Mickledore shouldn't be complicated.

Also see the migration notes 
(https://docs.yoctoproject.org/migration-guides/index.html) telling you 
what you will have to update when moving from one release to the next.

You may actually prefer to use our latest long term support release, 
Kirkstone, which will be supported until 2026.

I hope this helps,
Cheers
Michael.
