[yocto] Initramfs image name (INITRAMFS_IMAGE)

[Marcin Krzemiński]

Hi Paul,

In such below sentence from local.conf.sample is wrong or I missing
something here?

*# NOTE: You can set INITRAMFS_IMAGE in an image recipe, but*
*#       INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE can only be set in a conf file.*

Regards,
Marcn
