Hi Ulrich,
thank you very much for your explanation. The provided genimage.config
looks similar to mine, so I guess it is ok. I will try when I come back to
the office. The point I missed was that I need to call: bitbake
your-customized-ubi and not bitbake my-custom-image, right?
Thank you again,
Gabriele
