From 8e2ab5785259fa39c564e5c950a3b34dc2d715b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2016 11:58:29 -0700 Subject: yocto-project-qs: Altered MinnowBoard MAX example Fixes [YOCTO #9667] The example that built the image out for the MinnowBoard MAX was buiding a core-image-minimal. This was not ideal. I have fixed it so that several types of images are suggested as examples with a reference to the Images chapter in the ref-manual. The actual command now builds out core-image-base.
