I finally got a chance to look at the layers, and I can see that the
processing code would in fact pick/generate a generic board description
and that could lead you into the failures you are seeing.

I assume you are building for MACHINE="chroma-bsp" and the linux-yocto-rt
kernel recipe ?

If you can confirm the details, and anything else, I can mock up a
recipe space BSP description that should work.
