[meta-xilinx] How to boot the ZynqMP?

Thu Nov 16 11:32:22 PST 2017

Hi Brian, all,

I noticed you add some stuff in local.conf to specify the types of images
being built, e.g.

# add Boot.bin dependency
IMAGE_CLASSES += " xilinx-bootbin"

Where are these defined? How can I see a list of possible choices for this?
