I am trying angstrom defaults. I think a COMPATIBLE_MACHINE is nice to contain
the recipes for your machine layer only so it can be used in default
angstrom setup
for non TI machines. Since I build TI and non TI machines in same
tmpdir I dont want
to keep editing my layers.txt every time I use a different machine
