Do you want the kwboot tool to prepare the image? It seems to me like it makes a lot more sense to have a tool to prepare the image. Remember also that this tool is needed to *extract* existing images. And you haven't explained how you intend to do this without a proper userspace tool such as kwbimage. And by the way, the tool is a simple userspace tool written entirely in C, I'm not sure to see where the problem is. Quoting Sascha, an e-mail for this thread: """ Anyway, what we do on i.MX doesn't really scale anymore since the more complicated features of the image format can't be used with C structures. I'm working on replacing this with a imx-image tool. You seem to use checksums in your images. These can't be generated in C or CPP anyway.
