[meta-yocto][PATCH 1/2] beaglebone-yocto: prefer u-boot

[Vivien Didelot]

If BBLAYERS contains a layer providing a package for
virtual/bootloader, building for the beaglebone-yocto machine will
fail. Setting u-boot as the preferred provider for virtual/bootloader
ensures u-boot is choosen and the build succeeds.

[meta-yocto][PATCH 2/2] beaglebone-yocto: move kernel and dtb to packagegroup-core-boot

[Vivien Didelot]

Appending IMAGE_INSTALL with the kernel and device tree is a bad idea
because it will bring these packages to every images, like a container
image or sysroot image to pivot to, where the kernel artifacts are
not wanted.

Instead use the MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS which results
in having the kernel artifacts where they should be, part of
packagegroup-core-boot.
