'yocto-bsp list <arch> --properties' returns some kind of json listing the properties of an arch. Since some of these properties vary depending on others, conditional 'ifs' were added to the json making some kind pseudo-markup output. This output is messy and weird and should be avoided. There should be a better way of showing this, specially considering that the json generated by yocto-bsp list <arch> --properties puts all its json body inside a string, which is odd and is not useful to anybody. IFs shown on 'yocto-bsp list <arch> --properties': "if kernel_choice == "linux-yocto_4.1":" : { "smp" : { "prio" : 30 "filename" : /home/humberto/poky-dev/scripts/lib/bsp/substrate/target/arch/x86_64/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_4.1.bbappend "default" : y "type" : boolean "msg" : Do you need SMP support?
