Layer creation using script
We should always start with something easy, in order to keep things simple. So, a simple way to create a layer is to execute the following command from the script directory, under the poky

in the poky
directory, from where we invoke this command. However, before that, you have to answer some questions. The answers are discussed in these steps:
- Enter the layer priority you'd like to use for this layer: [default: 6] 7
- Check whether you would like to have an example recipe created: (y/n) [default: n]
- Check whether you would you like to have an example
bbappend
file created: (y/n) [default: n] y - Enter the name you'd like to use for your bbappend file: [default: example]
helloworld
- Enter the version number you'd like to use for your bbappend file, (this should match the recipe you're appending the file to): [default: 0.1]
