I for one read that as Gary intended, that the README did not say 
anything about how to get it to work with Yocto.  Can we word things is 
a less confrontational way please?

There was nothing wrong with your question.

As Gary said there has not been too many end user questions on meta-ti 
yet.  Of course someone has to be first.

meta-ti is still in early development.  It started life working only in 
an Angstrom context.  We are making changes that will make most of it 
work with just oe-core or yocto/poky but that is not ready yet.  Gary's 
work around is an interesting approximation of what we are shooting for.

> I apologize if I offended.  I did read the README, but it didn't make a bit of sense to me because it talked about angstrom, which I don't know anything about and wondered what that had to do with yocto.  My current Yocto knowledge is based on the meta-intel layer, which doesn't mention angstrom.  It sounds like the hint/trick that Gary mentioned will make bitbake build with just yocto, which is what I want.  My goal is more of a proof of concept.  I'd like to prove if you could take the same image recipe and move it from Pandaboard to Atom and vice versa.  That way a developer could pick the hardware platform based on the performance, features, and cost.  The software effort should be minimal to move if the Yocto concept works as advertised.
