[Openembedded-users] Question about choice of version for a package

Hi Hans,

Thanks for your post

Actually the recipe being chosen is "u-boot_git.bb" which doesn't have
UBOOT_MACHINE_beagleboard set. The one used in this recipe is the one set by
UBOOT_MACHINE in beagleboard.conf, so I don't see a link there. Am I missing
something?

regards,
Joel
