[meta-ti] using yocto and meta-ti to build for beaglebone black?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  a couple quick questions. first, as an example for a tutorial, i
want to show using yocto and meta-ti to build a simple
(core-image-minimal?) for a BBB. it seems simple enough -- i just
configured a new build directory, added the meta-ti layer, set MACHINE
to "beaglebone" and it's cranking away on all 8 cores as we speak.

  i'm well aware of the recent u-boot uImage->zImage switch, which
makes me happy. :-) so as long as i get valid artifacts dumped into
the images/ directory when this is over, i figure i can take it from
there. as i'm using the master branch for everything (oe-core,
meta-ti), should this just work?

  also, i just noticed the meta-ti recipe for "x-load". isn't this
just for generating the "MLO" file required by a number of TI boards
that u-boot takes care of these days? what's the relationship between
those two? is x-load just for TI machines for which u-boot doesn't
generate an appropriate MLO file?

  thanks.
