* documentation: Updated manual notesScott Rifenbark2018-05-291-13/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I updated the notes to help the user get the version of the docs that they are interested in. Sometimes a search using the web returns really old versions of the manual and the user is clueless about using a manual that is not matching the YP release they are working with.

* dev-manual, kernel-dev: Replaced yocto-layers with bitbake-layers commandScott Rifenbark2017-10-301-29/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The yocto-layers script is being deprecated in the 2.4 YP release and the preferred script is now bitbake-layers. In particular, the section that talks about creating a general layer was using yocto-layers create. I have replaced it with bitbake-layers create-layer command. The bsp-guide and kernel-dev manual had links that used (in the case of kernel-dev) and referenced yocto-layers. I had to change these to reflect using bitbake-layers create-layers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Made the title page notes consistent across the manual set. Made the author group information consistent as well. It is better that authorship is seen as a third party and not tied to Intel Corporation.

* documentation: Updates to cull out buried YP Website references.Scott Rifenbark2017-10-161-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | With the redoing of the YP website, it was decided that the manuals could only reference into the top-level and the top-level/documentation URLs of the website. I removed all references to areas such as projects (e.g. Toaster, VM, etc.) and any other URL that was not the top-level landing page or the documentation page.

Also noted that KMACHINE is for kernel mapping only whereas MACHINE is for the layer's BSP machine type.

One was a new section on expanding variables using bitbake -e. Another was a bit about the defconfig file. And a small procedure on how to create config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained. Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well.
