+ :term:`IMAGE_EXTRA_PARTITION_FILES`
+ A space-separated list of files installed into the extra partition
+ when preparing an image using the Wic tool with the
+ ``extra_partition`` source plugin. By default,
+ the files are
+ installed under the same name as the source files. To change the
+ installed name, separate it from the original name with a semi-colon
+ (;). Source files need to be located in
+ :term:`DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE`. Here is a
+ example::
+
+ IMAGE_EXTRA_PARTITION_FILES = "foo bar.conf;bar"
+
+ Alternatively, source files can be picked up using a glob pattern. In
+ this case, the destination file must have the same name as the base
+ name of the source file path. To install files into a directory
+ within the target location, pass its name after a semi-colon (;).
+ Here are two examples::
+
+ IMAGE_EXTRA_PARTITION_FILES = "foo/*"
+ IMAGE_EXTRA_PARTITION_FILES = "foo/*;bar/"
+
+ The first example
+ installs all files from ``${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/foo``
+ into the root of the target partition. The second example installs
+ the same files into a ``bar`` directory within the target partition.
+
+ You can also specify the target by label, UUID or partname if multiple
+ extra partitions coexist. Here are two examples::
+
+ IMAGE_EXTRA_PARTITION_FILES_label-config = "foo/*"
+ IMAGE_EXTRA_PARTITION_FILES_uuid-e7d0824e-cda3-4bed-9f54-9ef5312d105d = "foo/*;bar/"

+ You can find information on how to use the Wic tool in the

+ section of the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual. Reference
