Hi all,

I am thinking to extend binman to generate i.MX container header and IVT header, that means to replace mkimage to generate header.

There is an NXP downstream imx-mkimage that diverge from upstream that double effort. There are still require quite effort to migrate downstream imx-mkimage to upstream. But the good news is that we are trying binman in imx-mkimage to pack images. So if we could support binman to generate container/IVT headers, NXP downstream and upstream will align the effort to focus on binman, not a diverge imx-mkimage.

How do you think?

The idea seems good to me.

Could you please post a series showing the implementation?

Thanks
