following up on a question i asked on the generic OE mailing list, and nicolas dechesne's extensive reply:
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2017-May/136547.ht...
i figured i might as well move the discussion here since most of my queries will be specific to that target board.
briefly, i unpacked my new dragonboard, cabled it up, plugged it in and it popped into android as i expected it would, so i can at least verify that that part works.
also, i have a fair bit of experience with ARM, openembedded and u-boot, so i'll try not to ask idiotic questions. first question coming shortly, might as well keep them modular and not try to ask everything at once.
