With 8+ years of experience in Linux Kernel and u-boot development involving in various customer projects I always used Yocto and contributed to poky and various other meta layers.
Please find more about my profile in LinkedIn here: "[login to view URL]"
To add, I also maintain couple of meta layers including a Yocto BSP meta layer for Actions Semiconductors here : "[login to view URL]"
I can provide as simple steps as the one in "[login to view URL]" using repo tool to build from manifest file. So there will not be any hard work to replicate the same setup.
Adding to that, as this is a easy work I have already triggered the build in my workstation locally to provide you the image file.
Find the image attached here for more details on current build:
