Related to that: if for some reason you add a linux-myleetmachine.bb
recipe instead of extending existing kernel recipes, please set
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "myleetmachine" inside that recipe.
The same goes for other machine specific recipes (e.g. omapfbplay_git.bb
should have COMPATIBLE_MACHINE set to all omap3 boards).
