[yocto] how to copy a tar file to Root file system

[Swapna.Gurumani at microchip.com]

Hello,
Every step I take close, I take 2 back :(
My bb now looks like the one attached. I had to add each folder for FILES_${PN} contrary to your advice otherwise I got the following error:
ERROR: crank-1.0-r2 do_package: QA Issue: crank: Files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package:
  /opt
  /opt/crank
Please set FILES such that these items are packaged. Alternatively if they are unneeded, avoid installing them or delete them within do_install.
crank: 2 installed and not shipped files. [installed-vs-shipped]



I am now getting the following error:
ERROR: crank-1.0-r2 do_install: Function failed: do_install (log file is located at /home/swapna/workspace/work/yocto/poky/build-atmel/tmp/work/cortexa5hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/crank/1.0-r2/temp/log.do_install.26457)

Also if I look into the 
/home/swapna/workspace/work/yocto/poky/build-atmel/tmp/work/cortexa5hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/crank/1.0-r2
It is empty.
Could you please help me with this?
Regards
Swapna

Ah, I think you need this line first in do_install:

    install -d ${D}/opt/crank

Cheers,
