Need help navigating the waters on a) creating a custom machine b) creating a custom image.

I've been building images w/ yocto for a custom board that's similar to a LS1046ARDB (basically a simplified version of it). The image I've been building/testing up to now is bitbake fsl-image-kernelitb which uses the image fsl-image-mfgtool which extends core-image-minimal.

Our custom board doesn't have everything that the LS1046ARDB has so I would like to setup a more pristine/polished machine config and image. I'm very new to Yocto though and need help navigating the waters of how does one go about this. So my two questions are ...

How does one create a custom machine configuration (where in my case I could base it off of the LS1046ARDB)?
How does one create a custom-image that extends say core-image-base/minimal but pulls in all the necessary qoriq stuff (e.g. like fsl-image-mfgtool does)?

Hi @devnull0!

Sorry, we don't have a document explaining that, but you can consult the Yocto Documentation for that.
