If you are using a recent version of Yocto, have a look at wic:

https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#creating-partitioned-images-using-wic

That is how we produce multiple partitions since our last release (2.4).

Before that you would have to do this manually. Freescale has a great
example of how to do this in their image_types child class:

https://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm/blob/master/classes/image_types_fsl.bbclass

Again, I would only recommend this if you do not have access to wic and
wks (wic kick start) files.
