I don't know what that wiki is or how old it is, but there's no recipes-misc 
in meta-ti... It's not a good idea to collect random outdated tidbits on the 
Internet and try to get it all working...

Yeah, that was my other question - why master? There's currently Python3 
migration going on upstream and meta-ti is slightly behind on this. I'd 
recommend using krogoth stable release to get your stuff working. You 
should only be playing with latest master code, especially with several 
additional layers, only if you really know what you are doing...
