Yocto Project Setup - VersaLogic Zebra VL-EPC-2701 User Manual

For Yocto Linux, files used to build an image are stored in layers. Layers contain different types of
customizations and come from different sources. Some of the files in a layer are called recipes.
Yocto Project recipes contain the mechanism to retrieve source code, and to build and package a
component. The following list shows some of the layers used to build the Zebra image:

meta-versalogic
i.MX release layer
