| # Product and Image Assembly |
| |
| This area contains the libraries that are used for implementing the in-tree and out-of-tree tools for Product and Image |
| Assembly. |
| |
| ## Image Assembly |
| |
| Image Assembly is focused on the end of the build process: when all the compiled "things" are put |
| together into the deliverable "images": |
| |
| - `core` (or `base`) package (previously called `system_image`) |
| - `update` package for OTA |
| - Flashable artifacts like the fvm block image |
| |
| ## Product Assembly |
| |
| Product Assembly is a larger process, where pieces of the platform are selected and combined with |
| pieces from the Product, to create the set of "things" to pass into Image Assembly. |
