I want to rename my kernel image from bzImage to anything else. But it is so tiresome to do that every time I do make.
I think it is possible if post-world-hook or post-all-hook is provided by board specific makefiles.

My suggestion is like below:
- In this case, I use board/sample/linux-2.6.37.config as kernel config. (BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE=board/sample/linux-2.6.37.config)

--- Comment #1 from Peter Korsgaard <[email protected]> ---
You can do that kind of stuff with the POST_BUILD_SCRIPT option today. E.G. add a script in your board/<board>/ directory to do the copy, and adjust your defconfig to use it. The script get called with TARGET_DIR as argument, so you could get from there to the images directory.

Notice that this script is run before the filesystems are created, so this doesn't work to rename filesystem images.
