I did something wrong or missed a step.  I got:

grunzasr at stm32dbg:/home/yocto/poky-danny-8.0/build$ bitbake 
core-image-sato-sdk
Pseudo is not present but is required, building this first before the 
main build

I put the meta-ti (via a git clone) into /home/yocto/poky-danny-8.0

Is there another meta package I need?
