Good Morning!

In my project, I am trying to create one custom image recipe in my yocto build system.

 The reason of creating custom image is  -> having few specific configurations for kernel and some specific driver Makefile changes to enable coverage.

 I cannot go with .bbappend file, because we are maintaining a recipes-append folder in our meta-layer which is common for all the production build image recipes.

 My change is very specific it should not come as part of normal build images because it will affect the production build. 

 My use case:

1. I have one .cfg file for kernel - which has kernel specific configurations.

2. I have Makefile changes for driver file.

 I should bring the above changes to kernel and  driver Makefile during build time without using .bbappend file.

 I want to create a custom image recipe with the specific changes.

 For example : custom_image.bb =( This recipes should have core_image_minimal.bb + my specific changes)

 When i build bitbake custom_image.bb,  it should  build  with core_image_minimal.bb + my specific changes .

Other images recipes also should not affect by this changes.

My humble request. Can anyone please support how to proceed?

Kindly share your suggestions.

 Regards
