In general, you are better of to start board specific configurations
based on plain vanilla Yocto.  Current ELDK has grown a number of
warts and extensions that were at sometime needed to support the
"generic" character of our configurations, and especially to add
generic Xenomai support.  But this makes it more difficult to adapt
for a plain board that when starting from vanilla Yocto.  [We are
going to clean this up, probably in the ELDK v5.9 release this
autumn.]

To be honest: no.  The ELDK kernel building is somewhat of a mess; it
was derived from very early versions of Yooct, and development has
diverged since.  As mentioned, this needs to be cleaned up.

ELDK is great as a generic development environment, but when you just
want to add a new board, then it's probably still easier with plain
Yocto.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
