a) a core-image can hang under qemu when the kernel does not<br>
have enough entropy to generate the ssh host key<br>
b) ssh complains about changing ssh host key files when<br>
rebooting the same machine with different images<br>
<br>
For debugging it is okay to reuse an ssh host key generated on the device<br>
before. There may be also similar use cases, so the <span class="il">class</span> is generic enough to<br>
also copy more than one file or directory, with dropbear_rsa_host_key given as<br>
example.<br>
<br>
The documentation and naming of the <span class="il">class</span> makes it clear that it<br>
should not be used for production images.<br>
