+ <glossdef>
+ <para>
+ Specifies the command to create the image file for a
+ specific image type, which corresponds to the value set
+ set in
+ <link linkend='var-IMAGE_FSTYPES'><filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename></link>,
+ (e.g. <filename>ext3</filename>,
+ <filename>btrfs</filename>, and so forth).
+ When setting this variable, you should use
+ an override for the associated type.
+ Here is an example:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ IMAGE_CMD_jffs2 = "mkfs.jffs2 --root=${IMAGE_ROOTFS} \
+ --faketime --output=${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${IMAGE_NAME}.rootfs.jffs2 \
+ ${EXTRA_IMAGECMD}"
+ </literallayout>
+ You typically do not need to set this variable unless
+ you are adding support for a new image type.
+ For more examples on how to set this variable, see the
+ <link linkend='ref-classes-image_types'><filename>image_types</filename></link>
+ class file, which is
+ <filename>meta/classes/image_types.bbclass</filename>.
