There are several. Since you are starting from a yocto base, the meta
branch really
shouldn't be a problem for you.

Are you working from yocto master ?

That being said, if you aren't using meta or aren't using existing BSP
patches (and
branches), then starting from a yocto kernel tree isn't strictly
required. In fact, it
probably confuses things.

The tools can work with a korg tree, using a defconfig, etc. In a nice
coincidence, I'm
completing re-validation of the example korg recipe today.

So if you confirm the above, I can send along/point you to something
that should
meet your needs. (assuming everything works in my tests ;)

Cheers,

Bruce
