* Documentation: Updated Manual NotesScott Rifenbark2018-05-2412-166/+315
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I did some re-wording to account for when the user does a web search for a manual and the search returns an ancient version of the manual. Many times the user is oblivious of this fact and is trying to use a version of the docs that don't come close to matching the version of the YP.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This string is now being presented as "bsp_root_name" in the YP manual set. A BSP name is essentially "meta-bsp_root_name". It was being presented in the manual set as "meta-bsp_name", which is not technically correct.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed the way we refer to a BSP name. It is really "meta-<bsp_root_name>" rather than "meta-<bsp_name>". The name is the whole string and not just the root name. Also added a tip on ordering the layers in the BBLAYERS variable in the bblayers.conf file. Order is important.

* dev-manual: Cleaned up layer naming terminologyScott Rifenbark2018-03-251-60/+111
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reality dictates that the YP does not treat layer naming consistently. Layers are talked about as the "meta-whatever" layer and never the "whatever" layer. However, the tooling sometimes appends or uses just the "whatever" part of the layer name. A good example is the meta-yocto-bsp configuration file. All the variables in there use just the root name of a layer's name. In the manuals, I had been distinguishing the layer name as just the "whatever" part sans "meta-". I talked about the convention of using "meta-" in front of layer names, etc. Well, this is confusing in light of how everyone says a layer's name is "meta-whatever". So, I fixed all this up.
