As I mentioned before, we are matching the machine names to the name of the actual device. Unfortunately, not every device that falls into an SOC family has a similar name and cannot all be dictated by us. For example in omap3 SOC_FAMILY there is: beagleboard omap3evm nokia900 dm37x-evm archos5 bug20 and many many more. These machines are defined by a variety of companies, some from TI, some community, Nokia, Archos, etc. I don't think it is likely that we will get agreement on the naming between all the groups. I know that just within TI the naming is driven by marketing names for the devices. > > I don't have a strong > > objection to this patch but, conceptually, it seems a bit ugly. > > > > > > > p. > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Openembedded-devel mailing list > > Openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org > > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel > > > > _______________________________________________ > Openembedded-devel mailing list > Openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list Openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
