<p>
            This directory receives complete filesystem images. 
            If you want to flash the resulting image from a build onto a device, look here for the image.
        </p>
<p>
            Be careful when deleting files in this directory. 
            You can safely delete old images from this directory (e.g. 
            <code class="filename">core-image-*</code>, <code class="filename">hob-image-*</code>,
            etc.). 
            However, the kernel (<code class="filename">*zImage*</code>, <code class="filename">*uImage*</code>, etc.), 
            bootloader and other supplementary files might be deployed here prior to building an
            image.
            Because these files, however, are not directly produced from the image, if you
            delete them they will not be automatically re-created when you build the image again.
        </p>
<p>
            If you do accidentally delete files here, you will need to force them to be 
            re-created. 
            In order to do that, you will need to know the target that produced them.
            For example, these commands rebuild and re-create the kernel files:
            </p>
<pre class="literallayout">
     $ bitbake -c clean virtual/kernel
     $ bitbake virtual/kernel
            </pre>
<p>
        </p>
