[yocto] Installing a package on the board at runtime

[Alan Martinovic]

Hey,
I know there is a method in devtool called devtool deploy-target.
It's a great thing to install a package on the board at runtime.

Is there something like that available without devtool?


A digression:
Am asking for a non devtool option because it
seems like devtool is ignoring the patch and config files
the recipe depends on (can't find any in workspace/sources).
My particular recipe has a custom build step that
depends on rendering config file templates (which fails due to missing
not finding the config file).
