[ELDK] No uImage in build images directory

[Larry Baker]

I have built an ELDK rootfs and kernel from git sources using the steps from the Wiki section 3:

> MACHINE=generic-armv5te bitbake core-image-basic

In tmp/deploy/images there is a Linux kernel zImage, but not a uImage.

I'm puzzled, because the ELDK git generic-armv5te.conf says

> KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "uImage"

Is there a step I am missing?  My first try, I had to install texinfo and chrpath.  No other prerequisites were missing.  I also had to remove the local.conf setting to test the install on QEMU because there is no test script for core-image-basic.  Everything seemed to complete without errors.  (There were warnings, like missing checksum files.)

I don't really need this kernel at the moment.  But, it is newer than the one I built, and I would like to use the ELDK machinery to keep my entire system up-to-date.

Thank you,
