What version of yocto are you using? If denzil is your target, meta-ti
repo has a corresponding denzil branch which should work fine. Having
a look at meta-ti's README is also a good starting point since you
might need to mask some recipes which could not be parsed without, I
think, the meta-oe layer.

I'm personally building core-image-minimal with the following commits:

OE Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.15.2"
TARGET_ARCH       = "arm"
TARGET_OS         = "linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "wally"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.2.1"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "armv5 dsp thumb arm926ejs"
TARGET_FPU        = "soft"
meta
meta-yocto        = "denzil:65ffa7395055f7e012cb973f63f92380828eed0d"
meta-ti           = "denzil:9c103ce85a6ecb836bcdc46137207e466846ee2e"
