Selecting a machine is only allowed to affect the signature of tasks that are specific to that machine. In other words, when MACHINE=A and MACHINE=B share a recipe foo and the output of foo, then both machine configurations must build foo in exactly the same way. Otherwise it is not possible to use both machines in the same distribution. This criteria can only be tested by testing different machines in combination, i.e. one main layer, potentially several additional BSP layers and an explicit choice of machines: yocto-compat-layer --additional-layers .../meta-intel --machines intel-corei7-64 imx6slevk -- .../meta-freescale To simplify the analysis and limit the amount of output, mismatches are sorted by task order such that tasks that run first are also reported first. Following tasks for the same recipe and set of machines then get pruned, because they are likely to be different because of the underlying task (same approach as in test_signatures). The difference here is that we get information about all machines. The task order in the base configuration serves as heuristic for sorting that merged list. The test has already found issues in go-cross (depended on tune-specific libgcc) and gdb-cross (had a tune-specific path unnecessarily), so it is also useful to uncover issues that are not caused by the BSP layer itself.

Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:

Where to Send Patches
=====================
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer),
patches against the various components should be sent to their respective
upstreams:
bitbake:
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation:
Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp:
Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp)
Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in
doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of
oe-core and poky-specific files.
