Hello Florin,

In the poky folder there is a README.hardware file which contain instructions on how to write an image to the USB drive.
Here is a section of that file:
"USB Device:
  1. Build a live image. This image type consists of a simple filesystem
     without a partition table, which is suitable for USB keys, and with the
     default setup for the atom-pc machine, this image type is built
     automatically for any image you build. For example:

     $ bitbake core-image-minimal

  2. Use the "dd" utility to write the image to the raw block device. For
     example:

     # dd if=core-image-minimal-atom-pc.hddimg of=/dev/sdb
"
Please make sure you read all the additional information you may need to understand the steps in building an image for a particular device.
We are glad to have you onboard in the Embedded Linux community.

Regards,
