💅 AHAB_SPLIT_CONTAINER 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the ahab_split_container(1) glow-up — it lives in the i.MX CST Documentation collection and it's here to help you split one big signed blob into two cute little signed blobs. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ahab_split_container — split an NXP-signed AHAB container into ELE and V2X containers for OEM double signing 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ahab_split_container [-h] [-v] input_file

💌 NOTE 💌

this page is just the short little summary of NXP's ahab_split_container, fr fr. if you want the full deep dive, go read the Code Signing Tool User Guide UG10106, specifically section 5.4. you can grab that user guide from www.nxp.com — and heads up, it is excluded from Debian for copyright reasons, so don't go looking for it in your package manager, she's not there 😭

not me reading the manpage because the real guide is off-limits... anyway

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ahab_split_container is the tool that takes the NXP-signed AHAB container you hand it as input_file and splits it into an ELE container and a V2X container, which is literally the whole point — it unlocks the OEM double signing feature ✨

and the way it names the output? iconic. the ELE container gets the suffix .ele and the V2X container gets the suffix .v2xfh, and both of them get dropped into your current working directory. so check where you're standing before you run it, bestie 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h — shows you a help message, like a little friendly "here's what I do" from the tool itself 🌸
  • -v — shows you version information, so you know exactly which queen you're running 👑

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

okay so say you want to split an AHAB container into ELE and V2X containers and have them land as ahab-container.img.ele and mx95a0-ahab-container.img.v2xfh. you literally just do this:

ahab_split_container ahab-container.img

and that's it. ate. no extra flags, no drama, just vibes 🧚

reminder bestie: the outputs show up as .ele and .v2xfh files in the current working directory, so cd somewhere sensible first 🙈

mwah — that's the ahab_split_container(1) page, from the i.MX CST Documentation set, dated 2026-09-02. go split something gorgeous 💖✨🎀
