Why just uImage?
what other image formats do we support? I assume we'll extend it for the new format style once that exists.
uImage means "OS Kernel Image" (IH_TYPE_KERNEL in include/image.h).
What's the term to specify an image wrapped via mkimage?
I feel like I'm missing something here. I agree that IH_TYPE_MULTI needs to be supported, but I don't see why the code doesn't work for the bulk of the other IH_TYPE_* variants. It appears the only compression types we support today ore NONE, GZIP, and BZIP2.
So what am I missing?
I think it makes sense to allow support for Standalone Program, RAMDisk, Multi-File, Firmware, Script, Filesystem, and FDT images as well.
agreed, I think the only one I don't support right now is multi- image. (however, I'm not sure what an image of type Filesystem actually means).
