Create a project specific layer

It is heavily advised to put project specific changes into an extra layer, so we need to create one first.

$ scotty command bitbake-layers create-layer --priority=99 sources/extra/meta-my-project-layer

Tip

The name meta-my-project-layer can be changed to your preferences.

Now we need to add the layer to the setup

$ scotty command bitbake-layers add-layer sources/extra/meta-my-project-layer

Note

Be sure to put this new directory under version control e.g. with the help of git.
