Good point, but I never understood SOC_FAMILY. From an old email: "SOC_FAMILY is defining a family of processors and the features that processor has. Whereas MACHINE_CLASS is defining a type of device and its features which can use different processors." I think the first sentence is contradicting itself. A "family of processors" vs. "features that processor had". This can be fully orthogonal (worst case), so the definition of the variable is crap. I wonder, has it proven more useful than cumbersome? If it truly has a clear function in OpenEmbedded that can apply to all processors, can someone explain what the variable should be set to?
