[yocto] [meta-raspberrypi] Recipe To Add 3 Script Files To /etc/ppp/peers/<provider-name>

[Thomas A. F. Thorne MEng AUS MIET]

I want to add 3 script files /ppp/peers/<provider-name>.  I am targeting
a Raspberry Pi 3 but I would have though that adding non-compiled files
to the root file-system was a fairly generic thing to do. 

Is there an example of how to do this somewhere?  Either a How To write
up or an existing recipie that takes a set of text files and places them
onto the target's rootfs. 


I must be missing something because I cannot get the file files onto the
system. 

I tried using do_deploy, but that puts files into my
../tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi3/etc/ppp/ which would be helpful for
scripts to aid in image deployment.  It is not what I want though as the
scripts need to be on the target. 

Running a do_install() with or without a blank do_compile() has not
resulted in things getting onto the target either.  Unless there is
something about using ${sysconfdir} or ${IMAGE_ROOTFS} or ${S} or ${D}
or ${DEPLOYDIR} or ${WORKDIR} which is particular to the Pi.  I'd
provide an example of my script but having changed it so many times in
the last two days there is not much worth of sharing just one iteration. 

Anything that resembles the following with;
 ${IMAGE_ROOTFS} possibly substituted for ${D} or missing
 do_install replaced with do_deploy. 
There are probably other permutations that I have tried.

# These files are based on the details provided in

I can find a lot of helloworld.c and automate examples.  There must be
some basic ones for adding scripts somewhere?  My googlefu is very weak,
I blame a lingering cold. 

Any help will be very gratefully received.
