I ran bitbake linux-yocto -c menuconfig

and noticed that the wrong ARM architecture was selected (it was using the same one set using tune-arm926ejs.inc)

The thing is I don't see a defconfig anywhere, and I was wondering how the linux-yocto kernel picks up the defconfig from the standard/base branch.

A TI OMAP 4430 Pandaboard or i.MX6 quad-core SABRE development kit platform would do, but not sure how the linux-yocto kernel works, in terms of pre-selecting the correct defconfig file.
