+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ You need to create a form factor file as described in
+ <xref linkend='bsp-filelayout-misc-recipes'>"Miscellaneous Recipe Files"</xref>
+ and set the <filename>HAVE_TOUCHSCREEN</filename> variable equal to one.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ HAVE_TOUCHSCREEN=1

+ How do I make sure connected network interfaces are brought up by default?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ The default interfaces file provided by the netbase recipe does not
+ automatically bring up network interfaces.
+ Therefore you will need to add a BSP-specific netbase that includes an interfaces
+ file.
+ See <xref linkend='bsp-filelayout-misc-recipes'>"Miscellaneous Recipe Files"</xref>
+ for information on creating these types of miscellaneous recipe files.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ For example, add the following files to your layer:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ meta-MACHINE/recipes-bsp/netbase/netbase/MACHINE/interfaces
+ meta-MACHINE/recipes-bsp/netbase/netbase_4.44.bbappend

+ How do I create images with more free space?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ Images are created to be 1.2 times the size of the populated root filesystem.
+ To modify this ratio so that there is more free space available you need to
+ set the configuration value <filename>IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR</filename>.
+ For example, setting <filename>IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR</filename> to 1.5 sets
+ the image size ratio to one and a half times the size of the populated
+ root filesystem.
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR = "1.5"
