From 26354c27151a1053a69a669f7ebf6a5ed46735f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2013 10:36:16 -0700 Subject: ref-manual, mega-manual: Updates to "Image Generation" Fixes [YOCTO #2808] Updated the figure and placed it in the folders area for both the ref-manual and mega-manual. I had to add the DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE variable and create a new machine-specific directory below deploy. The text had to be adjusted to reflect this change as well. Also, created a new variable entry for DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE for the glossary of the ref-manual.
