I've had good luck with the meta-ti layer + Poky (oe-core & meta-yocto). I have my own kernels (for other OMAP boards that are not mainline), so I don't use the meta-ti kernel recipes, but I do use much of the rest, including the DSP bits. > > 2) Image construction pieces in oe-core are not all there yet.
