31I. Adding the meta-google layer to your build
32=================================================
33
34In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of
35it.
36
37Assuming the meta-google layer exists at the top-level of your
38yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the
39location of the meta-google layer to bblayers.conf, along with any
40other layers needed. e.g.:
41
42 BBLAYERS ?= " \
43 /path/to/yocto/meta-phosphor \
44 /path/to/yocto/meta-google \
45 "

48II. Purpose
49============
50
51Including this layer adds the following packages to your obmc-phosphor-image:
52
53* google-ipmi-sys: OEM IPMI Handler for providing specific information to the host.
54* phosphor-ipmi-blobs: OEM IPMI Blobs Handler for providing the framework for specific blob handlers.
55* phosphor-ipmi-ethstats: OEM IPMI Handler for reporting ethernet device statistics from the BMCs ethernet devices.
56* phosphor-ipmi-flash: OEM IPMI Handler for controlling in-band firmware updates.
57
58III. Customizations
59
60Presently, this layer also enables the Google Iana for registering phosphor-ipmi-ethstats in addition to the OpenBMC one.
