The altera-init script in your yocto directory sets up the recipe file (*.bb) order search for bitbake and it will eventually find a recipe that has a PROVIDES "u-boot" which seems to be found under yocto/meta-altera/recipes-bsp in my altera yocto distribution.

I've been staring at the scripts and can't seem to find out how 'bitbake' is building the appropriate files. I can't find where I would update the .dts file for a new build??? If I were to make a small change in Qsys and want to update the Device Tree, I can't seem to find where I would update that info for the linux build. Everything on rocketboards explains how to build the pre-set up projects, but nothing on creating new/customizing the existing projects. Anyone have some direction on creating a custom build (based off the SoC examples)?? Thanks, Mike
