[yocto] How to change machine name in yocto

[amit tomer]

Thanks Hans for kind reply

I somehow manage to change the machine name in build confriguation

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.18.0"
BUILD_SYS         = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING   = "RedHatEnterpriseServer-5.6"
TARGET_SYS        = "arm-poky-linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "k2"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.4.1"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "armv7a vfp neon callconvention-hard cortexa15"
TARGET_FPU        = "vfp-neon"
meta
meta-yocto


Now machine name is K2 for me,what I did is rename the
"/meta-xyz/conf/machine/pyp-ii.conf
 to k2.conf and set  MACHINE=k2 in build/conf/local.conf .


But my bitbake is still failing with different error this time.

Could you please let me know whats needs to be changed in
"build/conf/bblayers.conf
file"  in order to change machine name. below is my "build/conf/bblayers.conf"
file


# LAYER_CONF_VERSION is increased each time build/conf/bblayers.conf
# changes incompatibly
LCONF_VERSION = "6"

BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
BBFILES ?= ""

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  ${TOPDIR}/../poky/meta \
  ${TOPDIR}/../poky/meta-yocto \
  ${TOPDIR}/../poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
  ${TOPDIR}/../linaro/meta-linaro-toolchain \
  ${TOPDIR}/../meta-ti \
  ${TOPDIR}/../meta-nsn \
  "
BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE ?= " \
  ${TOPDIR}/../poky/meta \
  ${TOPDIR}/../poky/meta-yocto \
  "

BBMASK = "meta-ti/recipes-misc"
BBMASK .= "|meta-ti/recipes-graphics"

# meta-linaro is only able to supply linaro-4.7 without
# toolchain-layer, therefore mask out linaro-4.6.  Note
# that an associated change in local.conf to remove
# toolchain-layer from LAYERDEPENDS_linaro is required.
BBMASK .= "|gcc.*_linaro-4\.[^7]"

# mask out lrc specific layer(s)
BBMASK .= "|meta-nsn/recipes-connectivity-lrc"
