[yocto] Yocto .sdcard file missing after build

[Giovanni Foiani]

I found in *meta-fsl-arm/conf/machine/include/imx-base.inc *the following
configuration:

*IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "tar.bz2 ext3 sdcard"*

Hence, according to this configuration, .sdcard file should be created
but pparently
it is overwritten somewhere else...

I also found the configuration to reduce sdcard file size which is into *
meta-fsl-arm/classes/image_types_fsl.bbclass.*

I reduced SDCARD_SIZE from 3.4GB to 1GB
# Default to 1.0GiB images
*SDCARD_SIZE ?= "1000"*
*
*
I'm using Yocto packed for Freescale provided by
fsl-community-bsp-platform<https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform>
and I'm
building the image using Hob but I can't find sdcard as output format in
the graphic interface....

Where is the right point to place* *IMAGE_FSTYPES configuration?

Thanks

Giovanni
