[Buildroot] adding a package

[Anders Darander]

As we're leaving buildroot, it's probably a good idea to move the
discussion to the Yocto Project discussion list:
yocto at yoctoproject.org

There is a limited set of supported boards from a standard yocto download.

You should either find a bsp-layer for your board (or a board close

What board are you using? Something standard/common?

A list of layers available for OpenEmbedded Core (which is what yocto
is based on) is found at http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/LayerIndex.
