Subject: [PATCH 1/1] doc: clarify usage of the IMAGE_TYPE variable
Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2018 13:49:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1534938574-7675-2-git-send-email-Cedric_Hombourger@mentor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1534938574-7675-1-git-send-email-Cedric_Hombourger@mentor.com>
Documentation of the IMAGE_TYPE variable was misleading since it
claimed that the variable could hold a space separated list of
image types to be generated. The current image generation code
really assumes that a single type will be specified. Also update
the documentation to list "wic-img" as a provided IMAGE_TYPE.
