Hi Sean,

What's the name of your hello world recipe? Try naming it hello-world.bb or
hello-world_0.1.0.bb (for a version 0.1.0) and appending hello-world to your
IMAGE_INSTALL.

I believe recipe names must be lower case and use '-' as a separator. An
underscore is used to separate the package name and the version number, as
I've shown above.

It looks like someone posted a great hello world example on the wiki, so be sure
to check that out:
  https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/How_do_I#Q:_How_do_I_put_my_recipe_into_Yocto.3F

Take a look at meta-skeleton as well. I found that to provide a few very helpful
examples as well. :)

Cheers!
Jon
