PRIMARY BOARD OVERLAY |
--------------------- |
- The overlay-<name> directory is special in that it must exist and must |
-contain a make.conf and a toolchain.conf. |
+ Each board must have a primary board overlay containing make.conf and a |
+toolchain.conf file. |
+ |
+ If src/overlays/overlay-<board> exists, it is used as as the primary board |
+overlay. If there is no src/overlays/overlay-<board> but there is a |
+src/private-overlays/overlay-<board>-private directory, it is used as the |
+primary board overlay. |
In order to be useful the primary overlay should also contain ebuilds for |
-chromeos-base/board-devices and chromeos-base/board-devices-private. The |
-board-devices ebuild is used to override the board-devices ebuild provided by |
-the base chromiumos-overlay. The board-devices-private should be a "null" |
-ebuild that is provided so that a private overlay may override it. |
