Note that most of the machine names below, have a SD Card variant that can be
built by adding an "-sd" suffix to the machine name.

Dependencies
============
This Layer depends on :
- poky
URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
Branch: dunfell
Tag: b41d4e46d30ed32e11d68466721a0f4056bad700

- meta-openembedded
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
URI: http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/
Branch: dunfell
Tag: 95969f0f5f4264644a5dbfb6d4fb66e2ac3a2cde

- meta-aws (for AWS Greengrass)
URI: https://github.com/aws4embeddedlinux/meta-aws.git
Branch: dunfell
Tag: e34ed15a87e36fa4199c63a184630fa370abac55

Build procedure
===============

0/ Create a directory
mkdir my_dir
cd my_dir

1/ Clone yocto/poky git repository with the proper branch ready
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky -b dunfell

2/ Clone meta-openembedded git repository with the proper branch ready
git clone git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded -b dunfell

3/ Clone meta-aws git repository with the proper branch ready (optional)
git clone https://github.com/aws4embeddedlinux/meta-aws.git -b dunfell

4/ Clone meta-atmel layer with the proper branch ready
git clone https://github.com/linux4sam/meta-atmel.git -b dunfell

5/ Enter the poky directory to configure the build system and start the build process
cd poky
If not created yet, add a new "build-microchip" directory:
mkdir build-microchip
Else, if it's the first time you use Yocto Project templates, and if the
build-microchip directory remains from a previous use, we advise you to start
from a fresh directory. Keep your build-microchip/conf/local.conf file for
reference.

6/ Inside the .templateconf file, you will need to modify the TEMPLATECONF
variable to match the path to the meta-atmel layer "conf" directory:
export TEMPLATECONF=${TEMPLATECONF:-../meta-atmel/conf}

7/ Initialize build directory
source oe-init-build-env build-microchip

8/ To build a small image provided by Yocto Project:
[MACHINE=<machine>] bitbake core-image-minimal

Example for sama5d2-xplained-sd SD card image:
MACHINE=sama5d2-xplained-sd bitbake core-image-minimal

9/ To build the microchip image with no graphics support:
[MACHINE=<machine>] bitbake microchip-headless-image

Example for sama5d2-xplained-sd SD card image:
MACHINE=sama5d2-xplained-sd bitbake microchip-headless-image

10/ To build the microchip image with graphics support (EGT):
[MACHINE=<machine>] bitbake microchip-graphics-image

Example for sama5d2-xplained-sd SD card image:
MACHINE=sama5d2-xplained-sd bitbake microchip-graphics-image
