+
+        <para>
+            initramfs is the successor of Initial RAM Disk (initrd).
+            It is a "copy in and out" (cpio) archive of the initial file system
+            that gets loaded into memory during the Linux startup process.
+            Because Linux uses the contents of the archive during
+            initialization, the initramfs needs to contain all of the device
+            drivers and tools needed to mount the final root filesystem.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            To build an initramfs image and bundle it into the kernel, set the

+            Setting the <filename>INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE</filename>
+            flag causes the initramfs created by the recipe and defined by
+            <filename>INITRAMFS_IMAGE</filename> to be unpacked into the
+            <filename>${B}/usr/</filename> directory.
+            The unpacked initramfs is then passed to the kernel's

+            variable, allowing initramfs to be built in to the kernel
+            normally.
+            <note>
+                The preferred method is to use the
+                <filename>INITRAMFS_IMAGE</filename> variable rather than the

+                Here is a complete example that shows IP addresses and uses
+                the <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     INHERIT +="testexport"
+     TEST_TARGET_IP = "192.168.7.2"
+     TEST_SERVER_IP = "192.168.7.1"
+                </literallayout>
+                Use BitBake to export the tests:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ bitbake core-image-sato -c testexport
+                </literallayout>
+                Run the tests outside of the build environment using the
+                following:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
      $ cd tmp/testexport/core-image-sato
      $ ./runexported.py testdata.json
                 </literallayout>
