[meta-yocto-bsp][PATCH] beaglebone.conf: update KERNEL_IMAGETYPE to match u-boot

[Maciej Borzecki]

U-boot 2014.07 in Poky expects a zImage kernel image, thus a build done with
current machien config will not be directly useable. Update machine config to
produce a zImage.

This was sitting in my tree pending fixed update to U-boot 2014.10...

We really should spend the few minutes and make sure the zImage is updated
in the README as well. Since with this change, we are knowingly making
them invalid (I admit they don't work now if you can't boot the uImage,
but we shouldn't make it worse).

poky's README.hardware should be updated as well. When we wrote the 
instructions
(and tested on 3.14) the uImage worked, so that is what is referenced
in the instructions :)

Actually README.hardware section about BBB can be updated with info
about wic. Starting with 1.7 working SD card images for BBB can be built
out of the box, without going through manual partitiong, untarring,
etc. 

AFAIK the same applies to x86 images, though Tom would be the best
person to comment here.

I wouldn't remove the raw commands for wic-only instructions.  Since there
are multiple ways to do it .. they can all be documented.

[meta-yocto-bsp][PATCH] README.hardware: update beaglebone entry to match KERNEL_IMAGETYPE

[Maciej Borzecki]

U-boot 2014.07 defaults to using a gzip compressed kernel
image (zImage). A proper change upading KERNEL_IMAGETYPE has already
been introduced to beaglebone machine config. This patch updates manual
steps to creating a SD card image with proper kernel image name.
