Hm, I'm split on this. Normal images and signed images can be used in the same way, however booting a signed image using imx-usb-loader is only possible with the usb-signed image. Therefore the different file extensions are sensible. On the other hand all images contain the same data, keeping that in mind it does not make sense to provide different file extensions. I like a verbose filename version best, i.e: -signed.img -encrypted-signed.img -signed-usb.img Best Regards, Rouven Czerwinski -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Industrial Linux Solutions | https://www.pengutronix.de/ | Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
