I. Adding the filesystems layer to your build
=================================================

In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of
it.

Assuming the filesystems layer exists at the top-level of your
yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the
location of the filesystems layer to bblayers.conf, along with any
other layers needed. e.g.:

  BBLAYERS ?= " \
    /path/to/yocto/meta \
    /path/to/yocto/meta-oe \
    /path/to/yocto/meta-filesystems \
    "
