I am working on Zedboard within our layer as we speak, once that is done it 
will first be visible at github.com/Xilinx/meta-xilinx.git. I am hoping to 
finish this development work in the next week or so. Till then Mike's 
repository is the other option. After Zedboard we will move onto ZC702 as 
it has been discussed often. 

Remember that our layer will be a minimalistic bsp layer with the aim of 
providing basic support for our Zynq and Microblaze architecture and a 
few bsps. Any advanced functionality may require additional layers. 

Our aim is that the existing layers (Elvis's and others) can and will layer 
on top of ours, but they need not or may not be able to.

Regards
Sipke
