  +1.  again, all i want to do with my new zedboard is (ideally) build
a bootable, SD-based system from scratch with OE. the board came with
a functioning SD card so i have a baseline to work from, in the sense
that i can at least see what i'm trying to reproduce.

  based on what i've read, it now appears that my best bet is to start
with mike's layer here:

  http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/layer/meta-zynq-milo/

since it has explicit zedboard support. with that layer, i'd select a
MACHINE of "zedboard" and, since i see no zedboard-specific image, i
guess i'd just try to build a core-image-minimal, unless i've
overlooked something.

  the README in that layer states:

"Build BOOT.bin using Xilinx tools (which you'll need to install for
this) from within OE. u-boot will be built by OE, you'll need to
create a FSBL and optionally a logic bit file and point OE variables
to their location."

  so ... i need to install additional xilinx tools? is that documented
in more detail somewhere? i can see from philip's README:

"BUGS: You need to meld a first stage boot loader with the u-boot file
with a magical incantation from Xilinx to make BOOT.BIN. I need to
document this one day. I am not sure if I can redistribute the fsbl
binary. The source is not open."

so i'll just keep reading unless someone clarifies this.
