  i've finished adding a couple more things to this page:

http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/SoCKit_Yocto_bsx_build

showing a successful build of an "altera-image-minimal" image, at
least with respect to the artifacts that show up in the "images/"
directory, so that's a good sign (although i haven't boot-tested that
stuff yet).

  i may spend some time perusing the contents of the meta-altera/
directory to see how easy it would be to just extract that as a
separate layer and use stock layers for everything else -- doesn't
look like it would be hard as i would prefer to use the latest "git
pull" content when possible.

p.s. i know nothing about the issues involving the combination of the
device tree and FPGA, but the build process did generate dtb files, so
maybe it really is self-contained. feel free to follow along with that
page and see if it all works for you as well.
