             A hardware layer provides the metadata to support specific
             hardware.
-            By convention, hardware layers (i.e. Board Support Packages)
-            start with the string "meta-".
+            In general, layers are repositories that contain related sets
+            of instructions and configurations that tell the OpenEmbedded
+            build system what to do.
+            Isolating related metadata into layers facilitates modular
+            development.
