Usage instructions
------------------

For conf/bblayers.conf you have to add

BBLAYERS ?= " \
   ...
  path_to_source/sources/meta-erlang \
  "

Than run 'bitbake erlang-embedded-image-minimal' that will creates a image
with embedded erlang.

Or add 'IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " erlang"' in conf/local.conf and run
'bitbake core-image-minimal' to get an image with erlang support.


Other Information
------------------

This layer can provide the entire Erlang installation, from the base
runtime (erlang) to a full erlang development environment with all
of the bells and whistles (erlang-modules).

A list of all the packages provided can be found in the manifest file,
at recipes-devtools/erlang/erlang-${PV}-manifest.inc. This file needs
to be re-generated and new SRCREVs need to be added whenever the version
changes.
