Worth noting that meta-ti is not compatible with Yocto in numerous
subtle ways that you will have to work around; for example, in addition
to the things you noted, you might, want to add
'TOOLCHAIN_PATH="${STAGING_BINDIR_TOOLCHAIN}"' to your local.conf, or
some other suitable config location, as various meta-ti packages will
fail to compile without it.

The problem is that meta-ti seems to be an endlessly moving target
tracking the master of oe core, while people using Yocto tend to use its
stable releases. meta-ti would really benefit from some formal release
process/schedule, but I guess as long as TI considers it to be a
community project only, this is unlikely to happen.

You don't have much of a choice here; you will need to pick some of
these packages from meta-openembedded into a layer of your own as for
now combining meta-openembedded with Yocto does not work; hopefully this
will be resolved at some point.
