Since we are using a layer-based approach, people do not need to rely
upon us to add support for new boards.

- There are two main ways to get a board supported in the Yocto Project;
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>Send the Yocto Project team information on the board
- and if the team does not have it yet they will consider adding it.</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Send the Yocto Project team the BitBake recipes if you have them.
- </para></listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
+ Support for an additional board is added by creating a BSP layer for it.
+ For more information on how to create a BSP layer, please see the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BSP_URL;'>BSP Guide</ulink>.
+ </para>

Usually, if the board is not completely exotic, adding support in
the Yocto Project is fairly straightforward.
