From b0f4192e67e3140e41870b967977a2440a415c93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Zanussi Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 15:22:29 -0500 Subject: meta-intel: Change build instructions in README to use BSP tarball Change the build instructions to use BSP tarballs instead of git clones. The git clone info remains as a mentioned alternative. The original bug report was for Sugar Bay, but the others had the same problem - this fixes those up. Fixes [YOCTO #1103].
