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

[Swapna.Gurumani at microchip.com]

Hi, I have a tar file on my local drive and I want to untar this and copy it to my rootfilesystem image.
Please find attached the .bb recipe I am using.
When I run bitbake for this recipe, my build breaks with the following error:
ERROR: crank-1.0-r0 do_install: Function failed: do_install (log file is locate at /home/swapna/workspace/work/yocto/poky/build-atmel/tmp/work/cortexa5hf-neonpoky-linux-gnueabi/crank/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_install.16738)

Can someone help me in fixing the .bb recipe?
