I just added and EMGD example to the How Do I in the wiki.
Jim, really appreciate your work here. For those of us not
following quite as closely, please provide links to the pages
you update so we don't have to go hunting for them.
It's the How Do I link on the wiki page:
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/How_do_I
I see. This Question heading seems a bit inconsistent with what you
are actually doing. Step 1 of getting EMGD on Crownbay is adding
alsa to MACHINE_FEATURES for a BSP called meta-mymachine?
This appears to be just trying to get commercial codecs working
with accelerated graphics.
The reason I raise this, is that while it's good to have these
sorts of "Tactical" guides, if we aren't careful they can dilute
the documentation space and end up confusing users more than they
help. The README for crownbay covers what is necessary to enable
EMGD accelerated graphics. Please consider renaming the title to
someting more consistent with what you're trying accomplish.
Look, I'm not a documentation expert or understand what the project
team is trying to accomplish with their documentation or wiki. A
user on the mailing list asked me to summarize what I did to get all
the issues resolve related to media acceleration and decoder. What I
put in the How Do I was a summation of the questions and answers
that were in the email thread. I can just as easily email that user
the summary, if it's not appropriate for the wiki.
Please don't take the above as a criticism of the "How Do I" concept, as
I said at first, I appreciate you doing it - I understand it takes some
considerable additional time to publish it. The goal is clearly to make
things easier for others when they attempt what you're doing. I saw
something in there that might not fit the goal and raised it as a point
of improvement, that's all.
Please feel free to edit what I put there or remove it.
I've CC'd Scott R. to review and see if he might care to adjust things a
bit. I certainly don't want to remove it :)

What I feel is missing from the standard documentation for EMGD v1.10
integration into the Crownbay BSP is all the "other" stuff you need.
The README file in the meta-crownbay includes exactly what is needed to
integrate the EMGD v 1.10 driver. But generally, after that users will
have the next level of questions about how do I get video and audio
media files to play correctly, or test 3D . This is technically not a
driver integration question, but can be anticipated because you wouldn't
care about integrating the EMGD driver unless you had media and 3D needs
in your application/.
Just my thoughts.

I'm interested to see what more was needed for EMGD and
Crownbay than is already in the BSP README.
In my opinion, we need to think about breaking this one big
edit up into individual How Do I's. It would simplify
editing and make getting to the individual How Do I's much
easier and quicker.
I don't know how to do that, but I think it needs doing.
