[yocto] [PATCH 09/10] meta-crownbay: update README

Thu Aug 25 20:59:07 PDT 2011

From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi at intel.com>

With the new emgd-driver-bin recipe, some of the extensive
instructions on how to manually download and set up EMGD for the build
are no longer necessary.

Changes to reflect the new image names and a couple other minor
cleanups are also included.
