Embedding Files in Base Image

I am attempting to create an overlay for my base files described in the wiki here:

https://lede-project.org/docs/guide-developer/embedding-files-in-image

Does this actually work?

Not sure about that, as it looks a bit strange.

I think that the overlay functionality (referred in your wiki link) has been removed with https://git.lede-project.org/?p=source.git;a=commit;h=b044bd5921e9644c9df9655bef10cee0af730724 in April 2017.

The easy way is to include the files as "custom files":

Thanks! I will link your reply back to the wiki just so that anyone else reading it doesn't waste any time on it.
