[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] imageconfigurator: a new recipe for boottime image configuration

2014-08-28 Thread nitin . a . kamble
From: Nitin A Kamble nitin.a.kam...@intel.com This recipe adds ability to configure a BSP image for a specific machine or platform at the boot time. The machine configurations are not provided here, and are to be provided in the BSP layers. Signed-off-by: Nitin A Kamble nitin.a.kam...@intel.com

It will just be a matter of imageconfigurator RRECOMMENDing imageconfigurator-data, and then imageconfigurator-data being machinearch and doing the per-machine magic however it wants. Ross I see. That means the recipe will be split into two recipes. It would be cool, if it can be done
