[OE-core] looking for recommendation for cutting edge OE build for beagle black

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i asked about this on the beagle ML but i figured some folks here
would have massively useful advice, so here goes.

  for the purposes of classroom instruction, i'm looking for an
OE-based build for the beaglebone black (BBB) with the following
properties:

* works with some set of existing layers (oe-core, meta-openembedded,
meta-ti, meta-angstrom, whatever it takes)
* ideally works with current git repos, so totally cutting edge
* easy to configure and build
* generates minimal, command-line image; something like angstrom's
"hardware-bringup-image" would be perfect as it would be the basis for
further experimentation by the students

  furthermore, i'd prefer that the config and build uses current linux
kernel and u-boot trees, which means that, yes, there might be
breakage as the kernel works its way to 3.12-rc1 but i can live with
that for now. the generated content doesn't need to be *perfect*, it
just needs to build and boot, and i'd like to be able to "git pull" on
a regular basis to get new commits and test those.

  currently, i'm using meta-beagleboard for this; i wrote that up
here:

http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/BBB_meta-bb

however, that build, while convenient, is fixed at a 3.8.13 kernel, so
i'd prefer a setup that lets me select "experimental" or "testing" or
something similar. i'm aware of robert nelson's github stuff, which
supports that sort of thing.

  so ... recommendations? i just want something that is configurable
and buildable from current layers that builds and boots on a BBB, and
is as bleeding edge as i can get without things blowing up. much.
