Yeah I'm doing that. As you suggested I removed the .bbappend files and
have one recipe that support both machines, the config prepend looks
like this:
do_configure_prepend() {
case "${MACHINE}" in
enlace-imx6)
bbnote "Using csi_enlace_imx6_defconfig"
cp -v ${S}/arch/arm/configs/csi_enlace_imx6_defconfig ${S}/defconfig
;;
pharosserver-imx6)
bbnote "Using csi_pharosserver_imx6_defconfig"
cp -v ${S}/arch/arm/configs/csi_pharosserver_imx6_defconfig
${S}/defconfig
;;
esac
}
Thanks again for the help,
