Is it necessary to specify TARGET_ARM = "arm" ?

Is it necessary to specify TARGET_ARM = "arm" ?

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
      If in my overo.inc file, I specify the following:

SOC_FAMILY = "omap3"
require conf/machine/include/soc-family.inc

require conf/machine/include/omap3.inc
require conf/machine/include/tune-cortexa8.inc

Is it necessary to specify TARGET_ARCH = "arm"  for the machine configuration?

The machine configurations in the meta-ti repositories don't have them any more.

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson

This already comes in via omap3.inc, so you don't need to do this in your 
machine config.

Also, it's worth noting that in current meta-ti master you don't need to 
require tune-cortexa8.inc either since omap3.inc does this too (unless you're 
wanting to support use with an older version of the meta-ti layer).

Cheers,
Paul

Similarly the following are also taken care of by the current version of 
omap3.inc:

Thanks for the reply! I've made the changes as indicated! It's much cleaner now. I really like Yocto, it's so much more organized and easier to manage than OpenEmbedded Classic. Well upto this points its been just setting up my machine configuration.

Now to build something and see how that goes!! :-)
