[meta-freescale] alsa utils

[Harpreet Atwal]

Dear Daiane,

Thanks for quick reply and your responses are really helpful.

Do we have some documentation for changes one would need to do in existing configuration files to introduce a custom board for the repo source?

Regards,
Harpreet Singh

Please, take a look at the documentation:
http://freescale.github.io/
http://freescale.github.io/doc/release-notes/1.8/

I would replace "core-image-minimal"  by "core-image-base" and I would use "CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL +=" instead of "IMAGE_INSTALL_append"

core-image-minimal does not include firmware files, and I think they are important for alsa-utils, as it is only a tool for audio which uses DMA firmware.

In case you are using a Freescale reference board, you can download the pre-built image http://ci.ossystems.com.br/public/fsl-community-bsp/ and have a taste.
