* rpi-test-image
* Image based on rpi-basic-image which includes most of the packages in this
layer and some media samples.
For other uses it's recommended to base images on `core-image-minimal` or
`core-image-base` as appropriate. The old image names (`rpi-hwup-image` and
`rpi-basic-image`) are deprecated.
## WiFi firmware blobs
Be aware that the WiFi firmwares for the supported boards are not provided by
`linux-firmware` but by a custom recipe which only packages the needed blobs
for these boards. This is because the upstream `linux-firmware` doesn't support
or has outdated files for the blobs we need. The recipe
`linux-firmware-raspbian` is based on a fork of `linux-firmware` which
includes everything we need in order to fully support the WiFi hardware. All
machines define `MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS` accordingly.
