I am working to bring a device up. While the build system builds, the image works, etc, the sysupgrade-tar flag builds the sysupgrade files.

In my Makefile:
define Build/create-itus-sysupgrade
# Itus Shield requires specialized sysupgrade file
find $(TOPDIR) -iname openwrt-octeon-*-ext4-* > $(TOPDIR)/output-$(BOARD_NAME).log
ls -la $(BIN_DIR) >> $(TOPDIR)/output-$(BOARD_NAME).log
# tar -C $(BIN_DIR) -xvzf $(BIN_DIR)/openwrt-octeon-$(BOARD_NAME)-ext4-sysupgrade.tar
# tar -C $(BIN_DIR) -cvzf sysupgrade-$(BOARD_NAME)/kernel openwrt-octeon-rootfs.tar.gz sysupgrade-$(BOARD_NAME).tar.gz
# rm -rf $(BIN_DIR)/sysupgrade-$(BOARD_NAME)

As you can see from the commented lines, I'm working thru the errors..
From the output-itusrouter.log:

You can see that at the point create-itus-sysupgrade is called, it appears sysupgrade-tar hasn't been run to create the sysupgrade files..
Is there a way to either grab the file from the /home/grommish/openwrt/build_dir/target-mips64_octeon3_64_musl/linux-octeon/tmp/ by use of a BUILD env variable (or even close enough that I can append /tmp/filename to it so its universal), OR ensure that create-itus-sysupgrade is called AFTER sysupgrade-tar every time..
Any suggestions?
