From d02e56fd14026e2f51665631a50901fc568c731a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 07:58:32 -0700 Subject: documentation: Changes to Paul Eggleton's edits for various manuals. Paul sent me a bunch of minor edits and technical corrections for the ADT, BSP, Development, and YP reference manual. Most changes were taken as he submitted them. However, some formatting conventions were not followed in the commits he made to yocto-docs/paule/docs2. After merging them to my yocto-docs/master branch I fixed some issues.
