[meta-freescale] Help using toaster

[Thomas Thorne]

After reading more of the toaster-manual I found the section on "4.1.1.2. Configuring Toaster to Hook Into Your Layer Index"

In there it is mentioned that after editing your toasterconf.json file there are two commands you should run from your toaster environment to pick up changes from your modified file.  To load the changes you run something like: 
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py loadconf /home/scottrif/poky/meta-poky/conf/toasterconf.json
If that was successful you then run:
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py lsupdates
to update your Toaster databse.  

When I run the loadconf command I get a lot of errors out of it, even with the default toasterconf.json:

~/work/fsl-community-bsp/ls1021atwr$ ../sources/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py loadconf -v 2 /home/thomasthorne/work/fsl-community-bsp/sources/poky/meta-poky/conf/toasterconf.json

So either there is a problem with the script doing the checking or with the default config file.  
$ ../sources/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py loadconf --version
1.8.15
Who know what is really wants to see in that file.  I will try either working out how to write a new toasterconf.json file that does not generate a bunch of complains or see if getting the /admin/ web interface working suggests something helpful.  I can see the login page for that but I have no idea what credentials to enter yet.
