I am building a yocto image to run on a network device, and I need to have yum installed in the image. Is this even possible?
Technically, yes. But you'll have to create the support for yourself. The currently supported frontend for RPM is dnf (which has replaced smart) and probably will not change very soon. So the more practical answer is: no, not really.
I would also
like to have the epel-release repository available in my image.
Uhm. Be aware that your custom built distribution is *not* some kind of Fedora-Light. Its an entirely different distribution, and mixing in repositories from somewhere is most certainly disastrous - or do you think using that OpenSuse repo plays along nicely with your CentOS install? :-)
So if you want additional software that is not packaged yet as an OpenEmbedded recipe, the way to archieve that is writing the recipes. Plus, rolling your own package server if you want runtime package management, of course. But there already stuff prepared and should be easy to find in the docs.
