Schwab, You asked about an building an installable image, if you have Hob there is a way. https://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation/hob-manual-16#run-deploy This is a link to the page explaining it, scroll down to the section on deploying or running your image and it should explain how to do it. Cheers Nick
