+I. Adding the common layer to your build
+=================================================
+
+--- replace with specific instructions for the common layer ---
+
+In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of
+it.
+
+Assuming the common layer exists at the top-level of your
+yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the
+location of the common layer to bblayers.conf, along with any
+other layers needed. e.g.:
+
+  BBLAYERS ?= " \
+    /path/to/yocto/meta \
+    /path/to/yocto/meta-poky \
+    /path/to/yocto/meta-yocto-bsp \
+    /path/to/yocto/meta-common \
+    "
