Wow!  Sorry I jumped into a mailing list I obviously don't understand or belong in.  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.
