I have been trying to compile the HexAIS files found in the tarball, but facing some issues. Will check this problem, to see if a way can be found to change the elf file recognition method of the utility.
But it would be great if this utility can be added to mainline, as Detlev suggested.
Not speaking for Wolfgang here, but IIUC, aisgen is a binary Windows application, and in this form, it is not going to be added to mainline. Now if you meant an open source utility derived from the AIS info made available e.g. by Ben, then all we need is a volunteer. :)
You probably misunderstand. We do not want to add this tool, but it's functionality - similar like today mkimages is capable of building several other, similar custom image formats.
The x-loader 1st stage bootloader for OMAP includes a tool to generate images to allow booting at least OMAP 35xx parts from MMC/SD and NAND memories.
http://gitorious.org/x-load-omap3/mainline/blobs/master/Makefile (see the x-load.bin.ift target) http://gitorious.org/x-load-omap3/mainline/blobs/master/scripts/signGP.c (the utility itself)
signGP doesn't have a lot of documentation in it for what all the magic values mean. You can use section 25.4.8 in the OMAP tech ref. manual to decrypt the structures.
