Hi Andre,

Sorry for not replying earlier - was (and still am) out on vacation.  In
the Downloads | BSP section on the Yocto site, there's a 'transcript
from git checkout to meta-intel BSP' link that you should be able to use
to get started building meta-intel images using git, including crownbay.
You'll have to adapt it slightly for crownbay-noemgd e.g. use
'crownbay-noemgd' machine name instead of the 'fishriver' that the
example uses, change directory names for your system, etc.

Also, if you follow the 'Board Support Package (BSP) Downloads' link on
the same page, to the 'Intel Atom Processor E660 with Intel Platform
Controller Hub EG20T Development Kit', Version 5.0 Bernard, to the
'Building the Meta-crownbay BSP Layer' section, you can find
instructions on building the 'crownbay-noemgd' BSP from the
poky-bernard-5.0 tarballs and the crownbay-noemgd-bernard-5.0 tarball.
These are also contained in README file in the BSP download.

You should be able to use either method to get a crownbay-noemgd image
for bernard, depending only on your preference.

If there are contradictions in the documentation, or if you can think of
a better way to make this info accessible to new users, please let me
know the specifics and we can fix the website and/or documentation...

No, this isn't necessary - it just happens to be where I did the build
for the example.  You can use any location you want for the BSP build
directory.

Hope that helps,

Tom
