MACHINE type for the MDK ...

The Linux which I installed is the latest available with MDK-2-12, version Angstrom v2012.03-core - Kernel 3.2.0. I am currently downloading and installing the version for a different board to get to know how to use it, but it is set up to a particular MACHINE. For what MACHINE was the version supplied with the MDK created?

MACH_TYPE_MITYOMAPL138, 2650 (decimal).
The machine type is registered and can be found in the autogerated machine information.
The board file is arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-mityomapl138.c.
I don't advise running our kernel on a different board (such as the TI EVM), as the pin multiplexing and other configuration for the OMAP-L138 may not be compatible with the board you're trying to use and could result in contention or (worse) potential damage to your hardware.
Someday in the not too far future, the davinci machines will support device tree, but not at this time.
