Add support Yocto Linux 2.5.1 and 2.5.1+ on Intel Atom processor for IEAM edge device prerequisite OS.

IEAM edge device prerequisite OS is described below.

As of now, IEAM support only following OS in case CPU architecture is Intel x86_64.

  • Ubuntu 18.x (bionic), Ubuntu 16.x (xenial)

Edge gateway manufacturer in Japan hope this requirement because their edge gateway product embeds Yocto Linux.

    many of the embedded device manufacturers are using Yocto as their foundation / build pipeline so it might be a good idea to support this.
