I am just talking about a configuration option which will
write a file system generated using the existing options
to the SD-Card card.
config BR2_WRITE_SD_CARD
string "Write to SD-Card in the /mnt area"
default "sdcard"

$(BR2_WRITE_TO_SD_CARD)/bin: $(BINARIES_DIR)/<rootfs>
extract "$(BINARIES_DIR)/<rootfs>" to "/mnt/$(BR2_WRITE_SD_CARD)"
Isn't really "specialilzed" stuff

It creates the file in $(BINARIES_DIR) and not on the SD-card.
It would make sense to allow creating a CF-card as well.
