# Add third-party layers to the workspace

You can add any OpenEmbedded meta layer to the workspace by updating the KAS CI configuration files.

To add a third-party OpenEmbedded layer to the workspace, do the following:

1. Open the KAS CI YAML file `meta-qcom/ci/qcom-distro.yml` from your forked or locally cloned `meta-qcom` layer.

2. In the `repos:` section, add an entry for the required layer using the following format:

   ```text theme={null}
   Layer Name:
     url: URL to the layer
     branch: Branch name
   ```

   For example, the `meta-virtualization` layer is added as follows:

   ```text theme={null}
   meta-virtualization:
     url: https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-virtualization
     branch: master
   ```

After updating the KAS CI file, use the KAS command to clone and initialize the newly added layer as part of the workspace.
