From 5af18d3753374ae5de917df0b364953b0b413ec0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2017 13:36:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kernel-dev: Updated "Creating and Preparing a Layer" section This section failed to mention the "yocto-layer create" script, which is a simple way to create a layer. I have added this info into the section by way of a "Tip" box.
