Hi,

Thanks for your input. Beagleboard is not longer supported in YP. See: 
Yocto Bug #2444, that results in for example:

9680453 yocto-project-qs: Substituting Beaglebone for Beagleboard.
and
7254dfb Drop beagleboard, replaced by beaglebone

And usage of meta-ti layer to build beagleboard will override the 
x-load version within meta layer (from oe) anyway (see 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-ti/tree/recipes-bsp/x-load/x-load_git.bb). 
So my opinion is that it's correct to replace beagleboard with 
beaglebone in this commit. But if you have any other opinion, please let 
me know and I will of course consider them.

Anyone else who have any comments about this?

BR,
Petter
