[poky] How do I apply a patch to a wic configuration file (beagle bone-yocto.wks)?

[Marc Pernia]

Hey Khem, thanks for your prompt response!

How would I go about defining my own kickstart file?  Our board was designed based on the BBG reference design, so we use the beaglebone-yocto bsp layer, alas, we don’t manage a machine configuration in our layer.  
Is there another way to define WKS_FILE from our layer? ...in place of the WKS_FILE defined in the bsp layer that isn’t owned by us?

    You can define a new wks file in your layer since the default you are
    referring to above is a reference. And if your changes are good for this
    reference then please post these modifications to yocto mailing list.
    
    Otherwise, if the wks file is specific to image format you want for your
    devices then keeping that to your layer would be right thing to do.
