Hi Paul,
I understood what you are trying to say but from where does the
Yocto pick up the contents for a directory in final rootfs image. Is there any
recipe file in which I can find this. For example: do_install() etc.
I also came to know from you that I need a recipe for adding a file into rootfs
image. That's well understood. Please clarify about the particular recipe file
where the contents are copied from source to the rootfs image.
Thank you for writing to me.
Regards,
Harish.

In a Yocto Project build, the rootfs is built from packages and the packages
are in turn built from recipes. The supported process for adding new software
to the image is to write a recipe which creates a new package, then add the
package to IMAGE_INSTALL for an image.
There isn't a location where you can just drop files for them to be included in
a rootfs build.
I'd recommend you search online for a tutorial on this, there's plenty of good
resources available.
