========================================

To install the required packages for Yocto follow below 
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html

1. Clone the yocto poky.
	$ cd ~
	$ git clone http://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky
	$ cd poky
	$ git checkout -b dizzy origin/dizzy

2. clone the meta-sunxi layer 
	$ cd ~/poky
	$ git clone https://github.com/vishnupatekar/meta-sunxi.git

	$ source oe-init-build-env

3. Once initialized configure build/conf/bblayers.conf by adding the 'meta-sunxi' layer.

e.g.:

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  /home/vishnu/yocto/poky/meta \
  /home/vishnu/yocto/poky/meta-yocto \
  /home/vishnu/yocto/poky/meta-sunxi \
  "

To build a specific target BSP configure the associated machine in build/conf/local.conf:

	  MACHINE ?= "sun7i_a20_lime2"

Build the target file system image using bitbake:

	$ bitbake core-image-minimal

Once complete the images for the target machine will be available in the output
directory 'build/tmp/deploy/images'.
