[yocto] local.conf confusion

[Rudolf J Streif]

Greg,

I am not entirely sure why you are including a machine configuration
include file into your conf/local.conf file.

However, the "include" directive is optional include and hence if the
file is not found Bitbake will not raise an error and terminate. If you
need that behavior use "require" instead.

Machine configuration files do commonly use includes for shared
configuration. You typically find them where the machine configuration
files are: conf/machine or in a subdirectory there. The directory
conf/machine is commonly found in BSP layers such as meta-raspberrypi
which you are probably using as you are building for RPi.

I just searched all of the sources directory for  '*.pre.inc' and I get nothing. I'm building for a raspberry pi3, so I would expect at least 'raspberry*.inc', still nothing. I'm not getting an error for bitbake not being able to find the file.
