There aren't any special settings though - if you can run bitbake, you should 
be able to run devtool. If you're getting the error you pasted, it's because 
BUILDDIR is not set.

I just fetched Angstrom's setup-scripts, checked out the angstrom-v2015.06-
yocto1.8 branch, and ran through the steps mentioned in the README. 
Unfortunately it didn't check out all the layers successfully (someone should 
probably look at that...) once I tweaked bblayers.conf to remove the missing 
layers, devtool ran just fine. (Of course as part of setting up I had run 
. environment-angstrom - you are doing that, right?)

Cheers,
Paul
