This will make kernel.img be u-boot image which will load uImage.
By default, kernel.img is the actual kernel image (ex. Image).
2.I. Image with Initramfs
=========================
To build an initramfs image :
* Set this 3 kernel variables (in linux-raspberrypi.inc for example)
- kernel_configure_variable BLK_DEV_INITRD y
- kernel_configure_variable INITRAMFS_SOURCE ""
- kernel_configure_variable RD_GZIP y
* Set the yocto variables (in linux-raspberrypi.inc for example)
- INITRAMFS_IMAGE = "<a name for your initramfs image>"
- INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE = "1"
* Set the meta-rasberrypi variable (in raspberrypi.conf for example)
- KERNEL_INITRAMFS = "-initramfs"
3. Extra apps
