16 The OpenEmbedded build process supports several types of images to satisfy different needs.
17 When you issue the <code class="filename">bitbake</code> command you provide a &#8220;top-level&#8221; recipe
18 that essentially begins the build for the type of image you want.

21<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
22 Building an image without GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3) components
23 is only supported for minimal and base images.
24 Furthermore, if you are going to build an image using non-GPLv3 components,
25 you must make the following changes in the <code class="filename">local.conf</code> file
26 before using the BitBake command to build the minimal or base image:
27 <pre class="literallayout">
28 1. Comment out the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES line
29 2. Set INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = "GPLv3"
30 </pre>
31</div>
32<p>
33 From within the <code class="filename">poky</code> Git repository, use the following command to list
34 the supported images:
35 </p>
36<pre class="literallayout">
37 $ ls meta*/recipes*/images/*.bb
38 </pre>
39<p>
40 These recipes reside in the <code class="filename">meta/recipes-core/images</code>,
41 <code class="filename">meta/recipes-extended/images</code>,
42 <code class="filename">meta/recipes-graphics/images</code>, and
43 <code class="filename">meta/recipes-sato/images</code> directories
44 within the <a class="link" href="../dev-manual/source-directory.html" target="_self">source directory</a>.
45 Although the recipe names are somewhat explanatory, here is a list that describes them:

126<h3 class="title">Tip</h3>
127 From the Yocto Project release 1.1 onwards, <code class="filename">-live</code> and
128 <code class="filename">-directdisk</code> images have been replaced by a "live"
129 option in <code class="filename">IMAGE_FSTYPES</code> that will work with any image to produce an
130 image file that can be
131 copied directly to a CD or USB device and run as is.
132 To build a live image, simply add
133 "live" to <code class="filename">IMAGE_FSTYPES</code> within the <code class="filename">local.conf</code>
134 file or wherever appropriate and then build the desired image as normal.
