[meta-xilinx] meta-xilinx dora branch

[Nathan Rossi]

Hi Martin,

The external toolchains do provide gdbserver packages. So when switching back to a yocto toolchain flow it will try to build gdb/gdbserver instead. dora currently does not have support for microblaze gdb.

I have just added support for microblaze gdb in the master branch of meta-xilinx. Let us know if you need gdb in dora and we can look at backporting that change.
