  as a recap, for the purposes of my oe/yocto course, i was after a
range of BSP definitions from simplest to most complex. at one end,
the example i picked on as a layer that defined a single variation of
a single board was raspberry-pi.

  from there, i can demonstrate examples of, say, a layer that defines
more than one variant of a single machine (say, meta-intel's
meta-crownbay), then a layer that defines a number of independent
machines (say, meta-yocto-bsp), up to the hierarchical structure of
meta-intel, and any other interesting variations i run across in
between.
