[yocto] Building for pandaboard

[Brian Park]

Thanks for the info.
As I'm very new to Yocto, I'd not know how to create local.conf to build for
panda, even knowing that the kernel will support pandaboard. How would I go
about configuring Yocto to build for panda? If you can point me to some
documentation showing how to do it, I'd appreciate it.

I'm just learning yocto, in my spare time, and just went through the quick
start guide to build for x86qemu image and skimmed through the development
manual. But I'm not too sure how to go about configuring for pandaboard. I
figured, I can build for beagle board and then modify config to make it work
for panda. However, I'm having build issue when trying to build for beagle
board.

If there is already an existing pandaboard config, I'd like to try it.

Thank you.

Brian
