106 Starts the image generation process.
107 The <filename>do_image</filename> task runs after the
108 OpenEmbedded build system has run the
109 <link linkend='ref-tasks-rootfs'><filename>do_rootfs</filename></link>
110 task during which packages are identified for installation into
111 the image and the root filesystem is created, complete with
112 post-processing.

116 The <filename>do_image</filename> task performs pre-processing
117 on the image through the
118 <link linkend='var-IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND'><filename>IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND</filename></link>
119 and dynamically generates supporting
120 <filename>do_image_*</filename> tasks as needed.
