+# meta-intel
+
+OpenEmbedded/Yocto BSP layer for Intel platforms.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+This layer primarily depends on OpenEmbedded-Core (OE-Core). However, certain
+recipes may require additional layers to support optional features or
+programming languages not supported by OE-Core. Such recipes are located within
+the `dynamic-layers` directory.
+
+Base dependencies:
+- [Bitbake](https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake)
+- [OE-Core](https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core)
+
+Dynamic additional dependencies:
+
+- [meta-openembedded](https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe)
+- [meta-python](https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-python)
+- [meta-clang](https://github.com/kraj/meta-clang.git)
