2011-03-31documentation/bsp-guide/Makefile: Updated to include PDF in tarballScott Rifenbark1
For some reason the PDF version of this manual was not being included in the tarball created by the Makefile. I fixed this. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>

2011-03-14documentation: BSP Developer's Guide fixesTom Zanussi1
- use linux-yocto instead of linux-yocto-stable in examples - change branch names to match linux-yocto usage - remove outdated 'wrs' where it appears Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@intel.com>
2011-03-02documentation/bsp-guide/bsp-guide.xml: Updated revision history on title page.Scott Rifenbark1
I updated the revision history on the title page to reflect the upcoming Release 1.0. I will likely have to change this as we get nearer the release so I can be sure of the number and also add meaning release remarks to the entry. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>

2011-03-02[BUGID# 695] - documentation/bsp-guide/figures/bsp-title.png: Updated title ↵Scott Rifenbark1
graphic [BUGID# 695] - I updated the title to use a less bold and intrusive font and one that is still common for systems. Also removed the "s" in the title so it now reads "Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's Guide." I also put a better looking Yocto logo in. Once this commit is merged bug #695 can be marked resolved. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>
2011-03-02[BUGID# 553] - documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Re-write of click-throughScott Rifenbark1
[BUGID# 553] - In the 'BSP Click-Through Licensing Procedure' section, which is shared between the BSP Guide and the Poky Reference Manual, there were three links to 'pokylinux.org' sites. These links were intended to help a user get a license for encumbered BSPs. However, the links never did work. The section also had some wording that described a propsed naming convention for BSP tarballs that were encumbered and non-encumbered. The naming convention is a good idea but has not been followed so far. I removed the links and replaced them with general instructions on how to get through the licensing situation. Also removed the hard-line naming rules and replaces with a more general explanation of how we are naming BSP (e.g. Crown Bay). Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>

2011-01-06documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Commented out three sections.Scott Rifenbark1
There are some sections now that don't correspond one-to-one with the standard file structure presented in section 1.1. So I am commenting them out for now. Since I am still in the process of iterating on this manual I don't want to just delete the information. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>

2010-12-21documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: replaced the append file line in the templateScott Rifenbark1
Section 1.1 has the example filesystem layout. The last line of the example filesystem layout had linux-wrs. It has been changed to linux-yocto-stable. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>
2010-12-21documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Updated the Linux Kernel Configuration sectionScott Rifenbark1
These changes are another round of edits from Tom Z. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>
2010-12-21documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Added reference to Kernel documentation.Scott Rifenbark1
I added a reference to the specific section in the kernel documentation that describes how to create a BSP Based on an existing similar BSP. The tools we have that create the PDF manuals from the DocBook XML do not support cross-referencing to another PDF manual. So, I was left with adding a clunky text-based reference to the section and a link to the docs page on the web-site. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>
2010-12-21documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Updated Linux Kernel Configuration section.Scott Rifenbark1

2010-12-21documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Updated Display Support Files section.Scott Rifenbark1

2010-12-21documentation/bsp-guild/bsp.xml: Updated Miscellaneous Recipe Files sectionScott Rifenbark1
Found a mis-spelling that I corrected. Also added wording to indicate this directory is optional. Put in a note telling that defaults are set if a formfactor is not found. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>
2010-12-21documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Updated Layer Configuration File SectionScott Rifenbark1
Added wording to be sure user knows to replace "bsp" and "_bsp" in the boilerplate template example with the actual BSP name (i.e. <bsp_name>). Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>
2010-12-21documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Changed numbering scheme.Scott Rifenbark1
It makes more sense to have the sections that describe the various parts of the common structure as sub-sections to that. That pulls out the click-through licensing into a higher-level section. This is better overall section organization. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>

2010-12-21documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Created better BSP example base namesScott Rifenbark1

2010-12-10BSP Guide and BSP Chapter: Sync'ed these two filesScott Rifenbark1
After moving BSP Guide into its own folder for documentation I discovered a consequence of that. There are two separate bsp.xml files now: one in the poky-ref-manual folder and one in the bsp folder. I had done some good cleanup work in the version in the poky-ref-manual folder. This commit reflects a 'meld' operation where I re-sync'ed the bsp.xml file in the bsp-guide folder to be the same (almost) as the one in the poky-ref-manual folder. There is still one slight difference between the two files due to one's context as a stand-alone manual and the other as a section in a larger book.

2010-11-15BSP Guide: Updated xsltproc command to pass the bsp-guide-customization.xsl ↵Scott Rifenbark1
style sheet. Because I created the file 'bsp-guide-customization.xsl' to try and eliminate odd HTML runtime errors and to allow for customized XSL layer of formatting, it was necessary to update the Makefile to call the new file as the XSL style sheet. The Yocto Project Quickstart uses this technique and has no HTML build problems. HTML build errors seem to be eliminated so far. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>
