How to create Customized Name for zImage in Yocto

[karthikeyanraju]

Hi All,

I m using YOCTO  for my project. Need to change the zImage name as customer required name at compile time.

I have done the following changes,

Arch/arm/Makefile

KBUILD_IMAGE := zImage_kiko_router

and also i included the macro in .bbappend file also,

KERNEL_IMAGETYPE  = "zImage_kiko_router"

No effect. Can anyone help me to resolve it.

Maybe it is the wrong bbappend (as you haven't mentioned which one you have used).

Please try to set the KERNEL_IMAGETYPE  = "zImage_kiko_router" in the machine config file

Hello  Karthikeyan Raju,

I have not being able to locate a single variable that gives zImage its name. I think you would need to look into the source files and change the Makefile that compiles it rather than the Yocto Metadata.

Please let us know your findings.
