Thanks! I was trying very hard to get bitbake to do this exact thing 🙂 They probably didn’t bother knowing that it was so easy from the command line.
About the larger issue of getting a clean compile… I ran into more errors (checksum of patch-2.6.35.14.bz2 could not be verified). After trying to fix that for awhile, I decided to do a fresh git clone and start over.
This brings me to a new question: How do you update the various layers under corecdp? git pull does some things, but in my case, bitbake corecdp-base-image was trying to bake linux-2.6.35, but when doing it from a fresh clone, linux-2.6.39 was built. In regular Angstrom, they have a script oebb.sh which will look for sources/layers.txt and then update everything it finds in that file.
Thanks again!
