What are the differences between Open Embedded Core and meta-openembedded

Viewed 4475

Until now, I am still really confused between the recipes in Openembedded-core vs the one in meta-openembedded. And many time, have trouble to put the recipes in the right directory. They are really similar yet seem to be so different in the content of recipes.

OpenEmbedded Core contains base layer of recipes, classes and associated files that is meant to be common among many different OpenEmbedded-derived systems, including the Yocto Project.

meta-openembedded is a collection of layers for the OE-core universe

What are the differences of content of these two metadata? And why do they have to separate into two metadata?
