This page is meant to be the single-source authority on everything you need to know to create and maintain a Yocto BSP, including how to interact with the community.

I try to make sure everything here is accurate and up-to-date, but if you see something that's not, please do change it directly or send me (tom.zanussi@intel.com) the changes you'd like to see and I'll do my best to fix things up.
