2906 | A space-separated list of files installed into the boot partition | ||
2907 | when preparing an image using the Wic tool with the | ||
2908 | ``bootimg-efi`` source plugin. By default, | ||
2909 | the files are | ||
2910 | installed under the same name as the source files. To change the | ||
2911 | installed name, separate it from the original name with a semi-colon | ||
2912 | (;). Source files need to be located in | ||
2913 | :term:`DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE`. Here are two | ||
2914 | examples: | ||
2915 | :: | ||
2916 | |||
2917 | IMAGE_EFI_BOOT_FILES = "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE};bz2" | ||
2918 | IMAGE_EFI_BOOT_FILES = "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE} microcode.cpio" | ||
2919 | |||
2920 | Alternatively, source files can be picked up using a glob pattern. In | ||
2921 | this case, the destination file must have the same name as the base | ||
2922 | name of the source file path. To install files into a directory | ||
2923 | within the target location, pass its name after a semi-colon (;). | ||
2924 | Here are two examples: | ||
2925 | :: | ||
2926 | |||
2927 | IMAGE_EFI_BOOT_FILES = "boot/loader/*" | ||
2928 | IMAGE_EFI_BOOT_FILES = "boot/loader/*;boot/" | ||
2929 | |||
2930 | The first example | ||
2931 | installs all files from ``${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/boot/loader/`` | ||
2932 | into the root of the target partition. The second example installs | ||
2933 | the same files into a ``boot`` directory within the target partition. | ||
