i would start with the machine definition files in the meta-fsl-ppc layer: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-fsl-ppc/tree/conf/machine and see what looks promising. however, IIRC, one of the properties of a YP reference board is that it shouldn't be stupid, crazy expensive, no? so anything climbing above $500 (USD) might not be an option. people used to spending $60 for a beaglebone black might have a seizure to suddenly realize they need $500 for a powerpc reference board. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
