The manifest file is a list of the different layers that are needed for the FSL community BSP release. We can now use repo to install it. Run the following:
$ mkdir /opt/yocto/fsl-community-bsp $ cd /opt/yocto/fsl-community-bsp $ repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b rocko $ repo sync
You can optionally pass a -jN argument to sync if you have a multicore machine for multithreaded operations; for example, you could pass repo sync -j8 in an eight-core host system.
