2011-05-17documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Updated Example Filesystem LayoutScott Rifenbark
Added more explanation about the base directory (meta-<bsp_name>) to the Example Filesystem Layout section. These changes were suggested by Tom Zanussi to help users understand better how to add BSP layers to the build system.

2011-05-17documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Updated link to BSP Download siteScott Rifenbark
In the 'BSP Click-Through Licensing Procedure' section there was an old link to the BSP download page on the Yocto Project website. The link was non-functional. I fixed the link so that it points to the Yocto Project BSP Download page. I also re-wrote the paragraph to read better.

2011-05-17documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Updated /binary explanationScott Rifenbark
In the '1.1.3 Pre-built User Binaries' section it said that the ADT and minimal images were kept in the optional meta-<bsp_name>/binary directory. Jianjun Xu pointed out that in fact it is just the minimal and sato images here. I also confirmed with Tom as well. I re-wrote this sentence to be clearer and more accurate.

2011-05-17documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: BBFILES statement corrected.Scott Rifenbark
In the '1.1.4 Layer Configuration File' section there was a BBFILES statment that used the '\' character to indicate a continuation of the command on the following line. However, the example did not use a new line. I added the hard-return to correct that in the example.

[BUGID# 695] - I updated the title to use a less bold and intrusive font and one that is still common for systems. Also removed the "s" in the title so it now reads "Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's Guide." I also put a better looking Yocto logo in.

2011-03-03- documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Re-write of click-throughScott Rifenbark
[BUGID# 553] - In the 'BSP Click-Through Licensing Procedure' section, which is shared between the BSP Guide and the Poky Reference Manual, there were three links to 'pokylinux.org' sites. These links were intended to help a user get a license for encumbered BSPs. However, the links never did work. The section also had some wording that described a propsed naming convention for BSP tarballs that were encumbered and non-encumbered. The naming convention is a good idea but has not been followed so far. I removed the links and replaced them with general instructions on how to get through the licensing situation. Also removed the hard-line naming rules and replaces with a more general explanation of how we are naming BSP (e.g. Crown Bay).

2010-12-21documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Added reference to Kernel documentation.Scott Rifenbark
I added a reference to the specific section in the kernel documentation that describes how to create a BSP Based on an existing similar BSP. The tools we have that create the PDF manuals from the DocBook XML do not support cross-referencing to another PDF manual.
