bsp-guide, dev-manual: Moved BSP Layer prep steps to bsp-guide
The YP Development Manual had some build host preparation steps as part of the chapter that talks about getting a host ready for using YP. These steps are better suited in the BSP Guide. I moved them there and filled out the steps to be more complete.

<title>Setting Up BSP Layers</title>

This section describes how to set up a layer for a Board Support
|
||||
Package (BSP).
|
||||
For structural information on BSPs, see the
|

<emphasis>Determine the BSP Layer You Want:</emphasis>
|
||||
The Yocto Project supports many BSPs, which are maintained in
|
||||
their own layers or in layers designed to contain several
|
||||
BSPs.
|
||||
To get an idea of machine support through BSP layers, you can
|
||||
look at the
|
||||
<ulink url='&YOCTO_RELEASE_DL_URL;/machines'>index of machines</ulink>
|
||||
for the release.
|
||||
<note>
|
||||
The Yocto Project uses the following BSP layer naming
|
||||
scheme:
|
||||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||||
meta-<replaceable>bsp_name</replaceable>
|
||||
</literallayout>
|
||||
where <replaceable>bsp_name</replaceable> is the recognized
|
||||
BSP name.
|
||||
Here is an example:
|
||||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||||
meta-raspberrypi
|
||||
</literallayout>
|
||||
See the
|
||||
"<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;#bsp-layers'>BSP Layers</ulink>"
|
||||
section in the Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP)
|
||||
Developer's Guide for more information on BSP Layers.

If your hardware can be more closely leveraged to an

closely matches the <filename>meta-minnow</filename>,

clone that layer:
