It looks like you inherit "core-image" instead of just "image". I can
confirm that this work, I have this simple recipe:


# Copyright (C) 2017 Stefano Babic <sbabic at denx.de>
# Released under the MIT license (see COPYING.MIT for the terms)

DESCRIPTION = "Image with user processes"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
SECTION = "Application"

inherit image

IMAGE_INSTALL = " \
	projects-firmware \
        "

And project firmware has just the layout I want.

Regards,
Stefano
