OpenEmbedded-Core, BitBake and other Yocto Project layers.: Yes

Explanation:
Hello,

as a CPU module manufacturer we provide an MSC-LDK (Linux Development Kit).
This consists of an installer which dowloads the necessary layers and
configures the build directory. It also includes a BSP layer for the boards
with the kernel and tool configuration and a few common software layers
(meta-msc-ldk-core,meta-msc-ldk-hwtests etc.). The meta-msc-ldk-core provides
the common tools for our boards (like the cross-plattform EAPI library).
Other layers are used e.g. for hardware verification or production tests of
the boards.

Access to the MSC-LDK and the layers is restricted to registered users only.
Therefore it will not in the near future be part of
http://layers.openembedded.org

We started with one board with Yocto 1.6 and now got 5 boards with Yocto 2.0

Best regards
