|
+ static data should be part of the generated rootfs package, the
|
|
|
+ <code>BR2_ROOTFS_POST_BUILD_SCRIPT</code> feature might interest
|
|
|
+ you. You can specify a command here which is called <i>after</i> BR2
|
|
|
+ built all the selected software, but <i>before</i> the the rootfs
|
|
|
+ packages are assembled. The destination rootfs folder is given as
|
|
|
+ first argument. You can add own components here, change
|
|
|
+ default configurations and remove unwanted files.</p>
|
|
|
+ <p>You should, however, use that feature with care. Whenever you
|
