Adding new software almost always means adding a recipe, assuming none already exists. If it's some third-party piece of software you can search the recipes available in the community here in case someone has already created one: http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/recipes/ If you need to write a new recipe, have a look here: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#new-recipe-writing-a-new-recipe Once you're done, if the recipe fits into an existing layer, you could send a patch to add it to the appropriate layer - here's some info on how to do that: http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded Here's some more general information on layers: http://www.openembedded.org/Layers_FAQ HTH.
