That is in addition to the main yocto-based custom distro. The initial ram fs is a tiny image based on uclibc (poky-tiny) and having busybox and two other compiled apps. The main file system is eglibc-based. How is this sort of thing typically done in the Yocto world? Since the toolchain is totally different for the initial ramfs, do I need to have another distro and totally different directory for creating the initialramfs, giving two different distros and yocto directories? Or can I somehow do it under the umbrella of one Yocto distro? I would like some feedback on how this should be done. Thanks, Brian
