is freescale MCIMX6Q-SDB board a yocto "imx6qdlsabreauto" MACHINE?

[rpjday]

someone just handed me a MCIMX6Q-SDB, can i get a verification that, if i
wanted to build for it, the yocto MACHINE would be "imx6qdlsabreauto"?
thank you kindly.

p.s. from the meta-freescale layer, of course.

No, what you want is conf/machine/imx6qsabresd.conf

Correct, I was looking at an old branch.

In master we have:
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-freescale/tree/conf/machine/imx6qdlsabresd.conf

imx6qdlsabresd.conf supports all mx6sabresd variants: imx6q, imx6dl, imx6qp.

  what is the meaning of the "sd" (Smart Device) designation? what
does add to the configuration that makes something a "Smart Device"?

That's just how NXP named the board:

  is there a .bbclass file for generating an SD card image for this
target? or does one just do that manually?

It should work out of box.

   sorry, i explained myself badly. the MCIMX6Q-SDB i was handed was
previously configured in u-boot to boot from the network, and that
network environment does not even exist anymore, so i need to boot
from SD card, of which i see none lying around that came with this
board, so i built a core-image-minimal for this target (imx6qdlsabresd)
last night, and wasn't sure how i would generate a bootable SD card,
but i just now noticed that the build did indeed generate an
*.sdcard.gz file, so i'm assuming this is all i need.

   i just didn't look closely at the generated artifacts to notice the
sdcard file last night, so i assume i can just gunzip, dd to card,
and go. sorry for the interruption, i should have looked more closely
at the build output.
