over the last couple of hours, i've got a lot of it figured out. i've started (unsurprisingly :-) to document everything here: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Arrow_SoCKit the web page that suggests there is a separate layer: http://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/GitGettingSTarted#Yocto_Project seems pretty clearly incorrect, but if you download the monstrous .bsx file and install it, then run the install_altera_socfpga_src.sh script that you get inside that, that produces another directory with contents: -rwxrwxr-x 1 rpjday rpjday 1547 Mar 27 17:01 altera-init drwxrwxr-x 6 rpjday rpjday 4096 Oct 26 2012 bitbake drwxrwxr-x 11 rpjday rpjday 4096 Mar 27 17:01 documentation -rw-rw-r-- 1 rpjday rpjday 545 Oct 26 2012 LICENSE drwxrwxr-x 21 rpjday rpjday 4096 Oct 31 2012 meta drwxrwxr-x 9 rpjday rpjday 4096 Apr 5 15:20 meta-altera drwxrwxr-x 4 rpjday rpjday 4096 Oct 31 2012 meta-hob drwxrwxr-x 10 rpjday rpjday 4096 Mar 27 17:01 meta-linaro drwxrwxr-x 5 rpjday rpjday 4096 Mar 27 17:01 meta-skeleton drwxrwxr-x 6 rpjday rpjday 4096 Oct 31 2012 meta-yocto drwxrwxr-x 9 rpjday rpjday 4096 Mar 27 17:01 meta-yocto-bsp -rwxrwxr-x 1 rpjday rpjday 1531 Oct 31 2012 oe-init-build-env -rw-rw-r-- 1 rpjday rpjday 2038 Oct 31 2012 README -rw-rw-r-- 1 rpjday rpjday 17245 Oct 31 2012 README.hardware drwxrwxr-x 8 rpjday rpjday 4096 Mar 27 17:01 scripts so that's looking a lot more promising. i'm guessing all the content is there, it's just a bit disorganized. as you can see, there *is* a meta-altera layer, but it's accompanied by a bunch of other layers which i suspect could be pruned, so my goal today is to strip out everything but the minimal meta-altera content and combine it with all the layers i already have. stay tuned ... rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
