Yes, they are. To create an OE pre-built image, we use l-m-c in combination of an OE rootfs+hwpack. > OE has intrinsic mechanism to generate/construct full images which include > machine dependent binaries as well as generic components.

You can look at the following CI jobs: https://ci.linaro.org/jenkins/job/openembedded-armv7a-pre-built-images-panda https://ci.linaro.org/jenkins/job/openembedded-armv8-pre-built-images-vexpress64 For historical reason, linaro-image-tools is making a few assumptions (ubuntu and deb packages). Since our engineering builds have evolved (android, fedora, openembedded, ubuntu), we're slowly fixing those assumptions and going to a distro agnostic approach.
