OE local overlay setup

I need some help following the BeagleBoardOpenEmbeddedDevelopment
instructions to setup local overlay.

I have followed the u-boot example but I don't understand how to
populate the local/sources/u-boot directory with a local copy of the
sources for u-boot?

Hi,

1 - remove your empty local/sources/u-boot dir
2 - simply go in local/sources and checkout a copy of the official u-
boot git repo, see also [1]:
git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git u-boot

Regards,
Matthieu.
