add 'yocto-layer-example'
This is a first attemp to create a new slideset for day2 of yocto-trainig. The slideset is based on 'yocto-advanced' but with integration of 'meta-schulung' explanations. I used a slightly modified version of 'meta-schulung'. The following changes are currently not available in git: I don't use linux-yocto in meta-schulung, but use an own kernel-recipe and integrate the RT-PREEMPT patch. wic: i can't see the need for the second partition and the need for huge files in the kconfig. It works for me by adding ' --align 1024 ' to the wic setup. I decided to use ext2 instead of ext4. I renamed the rootfs.bb file into schulung-base.bb I use the u-boot recipe from poky. However i don't use u-boot for anything atm. But bootloader is on our agenda.. Signed-off-by: Manuel Traut <manut@linutronix.de>
