By default, the image-builder dumps out a generic RootFS tar file.
To generate that into an image Etcher could use, you need to convert
it into a device specific image:
First extract the file from deploy, it should have a "setup_sdcard.sh"
script in the base directory
Then for a BeagleBone run:
sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --img-4gb some-file-name --dtb beaglebone
Then you'll have a 4gb image file with the name "some-file-name" that
Balena etcher can write to a microSD card.
