I will try to get round to updating this tutorial soon; as it has become 
a bit dated - however as Alex mentions it should still work fine albeit 
with a few warnings due to unavailable sources.

It should just be a matter of changing a few git revisions, and tweaking 
the wording a bit to involve the new meta-yocto, meta-yocto-bsp split. 
If anyone wishes to step up to the plate the source for this blog post 
is available at [1] and I will happily accept patches.

Cheers,
Jack.
