In the Yocto Project, metadata (recipes, configuration files, class extensions, and patches) is organized into modular layers. Custom application code, system services, and image modifications should always live in a dedicated custom meta layer rather than altering core Yocto layers.
In the Yocto Project, a Board Support Package (BSP) layer contains hardware-specific configurations, kernel recipes, device trees, and bootloader definitions for a target board. The yocto-bsp command-line script provides an interactive wizard to generate a clean BSP layer skeleton conforming to Yo

Locate unpacked recipe source code in Yocto builds by understanding WORKDIR and S variable resolution in BitBake.
The Yocto `[build-deps]` warning means packaging discovered a runtime edge that the earlier task graph could not reliably satisfy. Fix the metadata at the correct layer after identifying both the output package and its provider recipe.
BitBake does not blindly execute a fixed shell-script sequence. It builds a dependency graph, checks task signatures and shared-state artifacts, then runs only the work needed to produce the requested recipe, package, image, or SDK.
