I'm not 100% up on the progress on the TI layers, but as far as I know, your description above is a goal. meta-ti works on top of oe-core and with other layers (i.e. angstrom) to produce what you describe. I've also heard that there's a variant that works with (just) oe-core (I'm not recalling all the details and can't look them up right now) to produce an image. The READMEs in the various layers should spell out the dependencies. If you are still working on this, and it isn't making sense, drop another email and someone can help translate!
