Jim, you are welcome here.  As was mentioned before there have been a lot of discussions about this layer.  One of the goals for the meta-ti layer will be to work with just oe-core and yocto and not require meta-angstrom.  We are moving that direction and the use case you are trying and your experiences with it are important.  Thanks for taking the time to give this a shot.
