[meta-xilinx] noob confusion

[Ralph Williamson]

I tried to build "petalinux-image" using the instructions on the readme,
but I get this error.
"rkwilliamson at ubuntu:/opt/poky/build$ bitbake petalinux-image
ERROR: ParseError at /opt/poky/meta/conf/distro/defaultsetup.conf:7: Could
not include required file conf/distro/include/tcmode-linaro.inc"

BTW, I changed added meta-poky layer DISTRO ?= "poky" to DISTRO ?=
"petalinux". That was not in the instructions but I got an errors without
meta-poky poky distro
