Generic/Intel x86_64 support

[poett1]

Hello,

I noticed that this distro previously supported x86_64 CPUs in older branches. The meta-intel layer is still present in the submodules; however, the configuration files for these CPUs seem to be missing in conf/projects. Are there any plans to reintroduce support for x86_64 architectures in the near future?

Thanks a lot!

@poett1 thanks for bringing this up and trying yoe distro !!, our default projects https://github.com/YoeDistro/yoe-distro/tree/master/conf/projects is based on what someone provided and maintains, for x86 we have qemux86 and qemux86-64 projects which are fairly well tested but we do not have projects supporting machines from meta-intel. We can add that if some contributions were made.

I'm hoping to use yoe distro soon for the Intel NUC to replace a home grown arch linux based distro. I'm new to Yocto but would love to learn how to help add x86_64 back into yoe.

@granitepeak99 awesome !, all you would need is to readd meta-intel to submodule list ( you can use yoe_add_layer command ) and then create a project perhaps closest to copy from will be conf/projects/qemux86-64 and then make the needed changed to config.conf under the new dir.
