The OpenEmbedded MACHINE for the Colibri T30 module is colibri-t30. If you want to use your oe-core installation only for the T30 then edit conf/local.conf and set:
MACHINE?=colibri-t30
If you want to build for Colibri T30 and Colibri T20 in the same oe-core tree, you can set the colibri-t20 in conf/local.conf and override that setting from the command line if you want to build for the colibri-t30. e.g.:
MACHINE=colibri-t30 bitbake angstrom-lxde-image 2>&1 | tee -a buildoutput.txt

The openembedded-core layer needs to have a copy of bitbake.
#bitbake seems to be needed in openembedded-core cd openembedded-core git clone --no-checkout git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake cd bitbake; git checkout -b colibri $BITBAKE; cd ..
Then, still in the openembedded-core directory, we can use the "oe-init-build-env" script to generate a build environment.
#setup the environment . oe-init-build-env ../../build
The script automatically changes directory to the build environment. Now we need to create a build configuration. The meta-toradex repository contains our default set of configurations.
#copy and edit a sample local.conf and bblayers.conf from meta-toradex cp ../stuff/meta-toradex/buildconf/* conf/ joe conf/local.conf
For convenience, you can create a script in the root folder which does the build environment setup:
echo "cd stuff/openembedded-core/;. oe-init-build-env ../../build" > ../export
Some projects moved to different servers which will have your build fail when the sources of that project are fetched and you do not already have them in your download directory. The following fixes this:
cd openembedded-core; git cherry-pick -x 156e0fca979585f72323041f8d8aeafcbd43dfc3; cd ..
Set the environment variables (META_TORADEX ...) as outlined above.
cd cd oe-core/stuff cd meta-toradex; git fetch; git merge $META_TORADEX; cd .. cd openembedded-core; git fetch; git merge $OPENEMBEDDED_CORE; cd .. cd meta-openembedded; git fetch; git merge $META_OPENEMBEDDED; cd .. cd meta-angstrom; git fetch; git merge $META_ANGSTROM; cd .. cd meta-browser; git fetch; git merge $META_BROWSER; cd .. cd oe-tworaz; git fetch; git merge $OE_TWORAZ; cd .. cd openembedded-core/bitbake; git fetch; git merge $BITBAKE; cd ../.. cd oe-tworaz; git am ../meta-toradex/missing-autoconf-tests.patch; cd .. # merge or copy meta-toradex/buildconf/*.conf with your settings in build/conf/*.conf diff -Nau ../build/conf/local.conf meta-toradex/buildconf/local.conf diff -Nau ../build/conf/bblayers.conf meta-toradex/buildconf/bblayers.conf # remove your old buildoutput cd ../build rm -rf out-eglibc sstate-cache
Note that we had some issues with the meta-toradex repository between T20_LinuxImageV2.0Alpha1_20120808 and T20_LinuxImageV2.0Alpha2_20121019. The merge of that specific repository might fail. I propose to fetch that repository fully and merge the changes you did to the older version by hand.
# so start from scratch mv meta-toradex meta-toradex.old git clone --no-checkout git://git.toradex.com/meta-toradex cd meta-toradex; git checkout -b colibri T20_LinuxImageV2.0Alpha2_20121019; cd .. # merge your changes in
