[yocto] [meta-atmel] at91sam9x5ek: "no machine record defined" failure for core-image-minimal

Hi Bruce,

I'm not entirely familiar with the mechanism that gets the defconfig from the BSP to the .config in work area, but here is how things currently look. The two files aren't a direct match as there appear to be some formatting differences, but the variables in the SOC/ARCH section seem to correlate partially (ie. it knows its trying to build for an at91sam9x5 SOC).

defconfig:
	CONFIG_ARCH_AT91=y
	CONFIG_SOC_AT91SAM9260=y
	CONFIG_SOC_AT91SAM9263=y
	CONFIG_SOC_AT91SAM9G45=y
	CONFIG_SOC_AT91SAM9X5=y
	CONFIG_MACH_AT91SAM_DT=y

.config:
	#
	# Atmel AT91 Processor
	#
	# CONFIG_SOC_AT91RM9200 is not set
	CONFIG_SOC_AT91SAM9260=y
	# CONFIG_SOC_AT91SAM9261 is not set
	CONFIG_SOC_AT91SAM9263=y
	# CONFIG_SOC_AT91SAM9RL is not set
	CONFIG_SOC_AT91SAM9G45=y
	CONFIG_SOC_AT91SAM9X5=y
	# CONFIG_SOC_AT91SAM9N12 is not set

	#
	# Atmel Non-DT world
	#
	CONFIG_ARCH_AT91_NONE=y
	# CONFIG_ARCH_AT91RM9200 is not set
	# CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9260 is not set
	# CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9261 is not set
	# CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9263 is not set
	# CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9RL is not set
	# CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9G45 is not set

	#
	# AT91 Board Options
	#

	#
	# Generic Board Type
	#
	# CONFIG_MACH_AT91SAM9_DT is not set

Given the fact that the ARCH and DT variables don't appear to match, it looks like this might be device tree related.

I was hoping the code out of the box was going to be able to provide a demo image that I could build and poke around in for some guidance. My ultimate goal is to port the at91sam9x5ek machine definition to one for the at91sam9g20ek demo board and then port THAT over to a custom machine based roughly off that reference design.

Can you confirm that the final .config for the board has the machine definitions that you'd expect for the board ?
