before anything, make sure you have successfully created a build
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc#setting-up-your-openbmc-project
Target Palmetto

Then build the simulator
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc#setting-up-your-openbmc-project

Then run the simulator
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc#setting-up-your-openbmc-project


Once that is done Target a Romulus for build/simulation.  You will notice
Palmetto is built from ast-2400 and Romulus is ast-2500
You should notice some layers change between the two.  That gives you a
base framework.  Next, and this is where no one has done work on the
team...

I would try to build an online example of using yocto for raspberry images.
Get that to work.  This step has nothing to do with OpenBMC.  It has to do
about learning how to build a working raspberrypi image.

Once you have done that, the next and most difficult thing... merging the
two.  document everything in a blog post (maybe your userid in github) and
that will let people see what you are doing and find helpful hints.
