[yocto-ab] YP Advisory Board Vote: Freescale Community BSPs, YP 1.7

[Jeffrey Osier-Mixon]

Please vote for the Freescale Community BSPs for YP Compatible, YP 1.7. 
This is for meta-fsl-arm, meta-fsl-arm-extras, and a few other things. 
Otavio has done a fantastic job explaining it below. This is an update - 
meta-fsl-arm was already YP Compatible for YP 1.6.

thanks

The FSL Community BSP is a community-driven project to provide and 
maintain
Board Support Package (BSP) metadata layers for use in OpenEmbedded and 
Yocto
Project with Freescale’s SoCs.

The FSL Community BSP started with the goal of easing the use of
OpenEmbeedded and Yocto Project with Freescale’s SoCs and providing an
example of how to assemble an easy-to-use platform as the basis for 
future
products.

The FSL Community BSP provides:

   * common environment configuration;
   * multiple download layers with the use of repo;
   * common location for discussing Freescale SoCs, kernels, bootloaders, 
user
space packages, (BSP in general), bugs, how-tos, and so on

Inside of the FSL Community BSP are the following layers, which can be 
used
as components of other platforms:

   * meta-fsl-arm
   * meta-fsl-arm-extra
   * meta-fsl-demos

All the information about the project can be seen at the Release Notes 
which
is available online[1].
