[yocto] does a BSP layer require a README file?

Wed Jul 25 09:46:39 PDT 2012

Here is some more information on this topic.  All layers are not BSP layers (i.e the meta-tlk layer is not a BSP).  Regarding the real question as to whether a BSP layer *must* have a README file to be considered Yocto-compliant, I have been told that it does need the file.

There recently was a concern that we document the requirements of a BSP layer so that it could be considered Yocto-compliant.  The BSP guide does lay out the "must" word in that new section where it talks about the README File.  Is it really required?  Opinions?

  currently, the BSP guide seems quite adamant that a BSP layer *must*
have a top-level README file, but at least a couple of the meta-intel
sublayers (meta-tlk, meta-n450) have no such file.  so should that
alleged requirement be, you know, dropped?
