By default the linux-yocto recipes operate on the current branch and use it as a trigger to locate the description of a board. This model works well when using the git repo outside of a build system since the commands can be simply invoked and will do something useful. However, it does mean that you can't have two BSPs that differ only by configuration, building out of a single branch in the repository. This means that you must have many branches for very similar BSPs. This model is still preferred, but having the choice of branching strategies is better. With this change we can have multiple BSPs using a single branch with the preferred description being hinted from the build system by passing the $machine value to updateme/configme.

Poky ==== Poky platform builder is a combined cross build system and development environment. It features support for building X11/Matchbox/GTK based filesystem images for various embedded devices and boards. It also supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration. Poky has an extensive handbook, the source of which is contained in the handbook directory. For compiled HTML or pdf versions of this, see the Poky website http://pokylinux.org. Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware.
