[yocto] Help with merging files

[Timothy Bean]

Hello all,

I am a little new to Yocto and bitbake. Could someone please help me with
probably some simple concepts that seem to be missing.

I would like to build a initramfs image to boot to my device (Freescale
i.MX6)

I think I need to change the image type to cpio.gz for the output. But my
real question is how can I include some external files into that image?

I have my application that needs to get bundled into the image. I also have
some configuration files as well like init scripts.

How would I go about having bitbake include those files when it is creating
the initramfs image?

I plan to build my application outside of bitbake, and just need it to get
wrapped up for me.

Remember I am a newbie, so, simple explanation would be great with an
example if possible.

Thanks

Tim
