I'm building images for iMX53QSB so my situation is where rootfs and/or
kernel and/or boot-loader are used from sd card.
I'm trying to build a qt4-demo-image, do I have to put any configuration
into qt4-demo-image.bb to enable .sdcard creation?

Is this also a  qt4-demo-image.bb configuration to set?
