I'd like to know if it's possible to add more partitions in the partition table, and how.
I've tested to change the genimage.cfg but it seems that support/scripts/genimage.sh doesn't create it.
Thank you in advance.

Using the genimage.cfg script is the right way to go.
If it does not work, you might be modifying the wrong config file; genimage is usually invoked by a script specified as
Make sure to modify the right config file however, the one used by the script defined in the BR2_ROOTFS_POST_IMAGE_SCRIPT option, under System configuration-> Custom scripts to run after creating filesystem images in menuconfig.
For example, I modified mine (specifically boards/raspberrypi3-64/genimage-raspberrypi3-64.cfg to accomodate for an extra ext4 partition.
image boot.vfat {
vfat {
files = {
"bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb",
"bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb",
"bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb",
"rpi-firmware/bootcode.bin",
"rpi-firmware/cmdline.txt",
"rpi-firmware/config.txt",
"rpi-firmware/fixup.dat",
"rpi-firmware/start.elf",
"rpi-firmware/overlays",
"Image"
}
}
size = 32M
}
image sdcard.img {
hdimage {
}
partition boot {
partition-type = 0xC
bootable = "true"
image = "boot.vfat"
}
partition rootfs {
partition-type = 0x83
image = "rootfs.ext4"
}
partition log {
partition-type = 0x83
image = "log.ext4"
}
}
