76 The base directory (<filename>meta-&lt;bsp_name&gt;</filename>) is the root of the BSP layer.
77 This root is what you add to the BBLAYERS variable in <filename>build/conf/bblayers.conf</filename>
78 so that the build system recognizes the BSP definition and from it can build an image.
79 Here is an example:
