My question is why you use a single capsule (FIP) in A/B update while you use three separate capsule files in normal case.
We think it is cleaner to not tie up boot binaries at fixed offsets in storage, so all CA53 boot assets are now in one parseable FIP image. Secondly, and personally, I think there is no real usecase of more than one image per bank - that will be too fragile and complicated to manage.
If so, my point is why not use a single capsule in normal case (a single bank in another word) as well?
for historical/legacy reasons.
