Dear Charles,

I looked at doing a mkimage integration, but is this really the way to go in all cases?
...only where it fits, of course.
The signed image does not really apply a header as such. It mashes in a "header" at position 0x40 and then appends a checksum at the end, then pads the file out to 64k.
The final file is:
- 64 bytes of executable (interrupt vector table)
- "header"
- more code
*crc32 *padding with 0x00 to 64k.
Sounds exactly as if you were making an image, so yes, mkimage fits.
Best regards,
