Device-Specific Layers

Adding support for a new device may require platform-dependent recipes and customizations.

For example, different devices may require different initialization procedures:
  • A VM-specific layer would typically include an EFI-compatible bootloader and generic device drivers.
  • A microcontroller-specific layer would use a simplified boot mechanism and fewer device drivers, which are specific to its hardware.
