Chapter 10. Exploring External Layers

One of the most charming features of Poky is the flexibility of using external layers. In this chapter, we will look at why this is a strong capability and how we can take advantage of this. We will look at the different layer types and how their directory trees are organized. Finally, we will learn how to include a new layer in our project.
