It's not that easy unfortunately. Generating CRC IMD tags doesn't work for many image types. For example the i.MX28 images are all encrypted, so the bareboximd command won't find any valid tags in the binary. The signed i.MX6 HAB images could be added a CRC to, but doing that would invalidate the signature. I'm afraid it's not possible to add a IMD crc to all images, we must carefully select the images we can actually do that. Having said that, generating the crcs automatically would be really great and I have also thought about that. See the following series as a starting point. It's not complete though, because it generates the crcs also in HAB signed images.
