The README assumes you want to build using Angstrom.  I've found that
with only a little extra care, you can use this layer just fine with
Yocto.

As for the meta-ti mailing list, it hasn't seen much of anything except
discussions about how to manage the layer.  Certainly not user-level
questions like this.  Also, my mention of BBMASK was on the Yocto list :-)

You can use (or adapt) this script http://angstrom.s3.amazonaws.com/demo/beagleboard/mkcard.txt
