Hello Nobuhiro,
As for some distribution, a mkimage command is made a package. However, there was not manual of mkimage. This provides manual of mkimage.
I recall looking for one several years ago ;)
+.SH SYNOPSIS +.B mkimage +.RB [\fIoptions\fP]
mkimage -h shows more invocation variants than "mkimage [OPTIONS]":
mkimage -l IMAGE
mkimage [-x] -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep -n name -d DATAFILE[:DATAFILE...] IMAGE
..suggesting certain OPTIONS are not [optional].
+.SH "DESCRIPTION" +.B mkimage +can also be used to create images for use with U-Boot, either
s/can also be/is used to/ ?
+.BI "-l [" "uimage file name" "]" +mkimage lists the information contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image.
s/mkimage lists/list/
+.BI "-A [" "architecture" "]" +Set architecture. Pass -h as the architecture to see the list of supported architectures.
Set target architecture. If architecture is invalid, mkimage will list target architectures it supports.
+.BI "-O [" "os" "]" +Set operating system. bootm command of u-boot changes boot method by os type. +Pass -h as the OS to see the list of supported OS.
-O and the rest could use the same kind of fix as above - mkimage doesn't specifically check for "-O -h".
also, an example would be nice if possible :)
Thanks,
Kim
