| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #5482] I did some significant re-writing and re-organization of this section. It now includes a bit about securing an image in general, provides general considerations, considerations specific to the OpenEmbedded build system, pointers to some tools in meta-security layer, and some other items.
