Hello, > I see, that is a very interesting observation! Is it documented anywhere? > A further naive question: How does it differ from a vm-image then?
Well "vm-image" is pretty close to "disk-image". The difference is that "vm-image" output is meant to be run with qemu. However, there's no qemu machine emulating the BBB. So, producing a "vm-image" for BBB is not viable. If one day BBB is (unlikely) supported by qemu, then "vm-image" will allow you to test system configurations in a VM without the need of a BBB hardware. Mathieu
