    If the build completes successfully, all the necessary files are generated in a following directory:
    ./<target_board_name>_m89/build/tmp/deploy/images/<target_board_name>
    
    Image is a Kernel image, *.dtb is a blob file, core-image-<image_type>-<board_name>.tar.bz2 is the rootfs, modules-<board_name>.tgz are kernel modules.
  4. You can now proceed with Running Yocto images
