  With my suggestion of  BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_IMAGE_NAME, this should be changed 
to e.g. BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_OUTPUT_IMAGE_NAME. The prompt looks OK though.


  However, on second thought I'm wondering if it is really needed. For u-boot or 
the kernel, we always copy the images with the same name as they were built. If 
that is not what the ROM boot loader expects, the name can be changed in the 
image generation script. For example, genimage.cfg could contain:

image boot.vfat {
         vfat {
                 file MLO {
			"barebox-am33xx-beaglebone-mlo.img"
		}
		file barebox.img {
			"barebox-am33xx-beaglebone.img"
                 }
         }
         size = 8M
}


  What do you think?

  Regards,
  Arnout
