[meta-freescale] Follow hw vendor's instructions or FSL Community BSP?

Hello list
I am starting to use Yocto to build images for my imx6 based Hummingboard.
Should I follow the vendor's instructions, using their layer based on fido branch , i.e.:

git clone -b fido git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
cd poky
git clone -b fido git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-fsl-arm
git clone -b fido git://github.com/SolidRun/meta-solidrun-arm-imx6.git

or should I follow the FSL Community BSP instructions here<http://freescale.github.io/#download> given that the Hummingboard is listed as supported, i.e.:

mkdir fsl-community-bsp
cd fsl-community-bsp
repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b krogoth

Is the difference purely in how new the branch is? What about the hardware vendor's layer (meta-solidrun-arm-imx6) - is that incorporated into the Krogoth release somehow?

Thanks
Simon
