We will be using yocto. All instructions and SW will be found here

Just so you know, I followed the instructions in the feature/ornl-image-support branch and while it produced an SD card, when I booted the system to SD card, it failed to even start the console and uboot.

I diagnosed it to a missing bootloader (first 8192 blocks of the SD card), so that needs to be added to recipes. I transferred the first 8192 blocks from the debian SD card and got the Yocto SD card to boot.

The base Yocto image is pretty rough. No wifi device, appears to be missing a package manager, and appears to be missing the parts discussing Yocto NAND Flash Burning. I also tested suspend to mem and while it did suspend, I was not able to get the DT6CustomBoard to wake up by any of the typical means.

I realize you might still be working on this, but just so you are all very clear of my expectations. It looks like this Yocto path requires work to get to the functionality that Debian started with.
