<para>
Specifies the formats the OpenEmbedded build system uses
during the build when creating the root filesystem.
+ For example, setting <filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename>
+ as follows causes the build system to create root
+ filesystems using two formats: <filename>.ext3</filename>
+ and <filename>tar.bz2</filename>:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ IMAGE_FSTYPES = "ext3 tar.bz2"
+ </literallayout>
For the complete list of supported image formats from which
you can choose, see
