[yocto] [Openembedded-architecture] Standalone image writer

[Giordon Stark]

Hi all,

In a similar problem -- I find that the boot.bin file does not work out of
the box when I copy the files over to the SDCard to boot on a Xilinx board.
I end up having to open the SDK and generate a BOOT image myself using the
other files that were generated (u-boot, devicetree) with the SDK's
FSBL.elf. Is this a known problem or would a centralized solution for
creating the image solve this?
