Updating the meta branch with a board description and configuration
that can be found from the linux-yocto recipes without doing a
MACHINE -> KMACHINE mapping.
From the meta branch commit:
The mti malta board description for a little endian config can't
be found by default unless it has a matching KMACHINE, or the
KMACHINE is set in a kernel recipe. In this case, it is easier to
just add qemumipsel in the KMACHINE list, so the recipe doesn't
need to do the mapping.
The little endian mips support reuses everything but the endianess
settings from the big endian mti malta board emulation.
This change adds the required mappings and SRCREVs, but does not
update the machine compatibilty, since official support is still
pending. The compatibility can be set in addon layers until that
time.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
