Darren Hart 62892b2f68 beagleboard: document how to enable the hard floating point abi
Closes [YOCTO #1203]

Using the hard floating point abi is incompatible with some binary libaries and
3D support for the Beagleboard. While we do not provide these in poky and
meta-yocto, softfp should remain the default for compatibility reasons.

Provide documentation and a commented assignment to DEFAULT_TUNE instructing
how to enable hardfp, but leave it disabled by default.

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/community/documentation

For information about OpenEmbedded see their website: http://www.openembedded.org/
