Start by creating a machine config. That could initially be very
minimal, for example, just:

  require conf/machine/include/tune-cortexa8.inc

might be enough to build a toolchain and a minimal rootfs image with
command line tools which will run on your board (if the board comes
with a pre-built kernel then you may be able to use the pre-built
kernel to run the OE rootfs - just for an initial test).

Next step would be to create a kernel recipe, so that you can create a
complete kernel + rootfs with OE.

After that, add recipes for any components which are machine specific
but are not part of the kernel (e.g. out of tree kernel driver
modules, etc).
