Thanks for helping out, but it does not work as expected.

I first create a local.conf for the at91sam9261df
and bitbake x11-image.
Then I do "MACHINE=at91sam9g20dfc bitbake console-image".
A console-image is built,but for the at91sam9261df,
which is stored in "tmp/deploy/glibc/images/at91sam9261df"

The bitbake does not generate u-boot/kernel or at91bootstrap
for the at91sam9260dfc


I believe that most at91 chips can use the same file system,
so it makes sense to do it this way anyway.

I assume that the at91sam9261df setup is used for the console-image.
There could be a few cases where this is ineffient or simply wrong.
