[yocto] [Openembedded-architecture] Standalone image writer

[Paul Eggleton]

Hi Giordon,

The image writer in question has no specific support for Xilinx boards. If 
you're having a problem relating to the Xilinx BSP and you don't get a 
response here then I'd suggest contacting the BSP maintainer(s).

Cheers,
Paul
