CSF_PARSER(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet csf_parser — she's the manual page 1 girlie whose whole job is parsing signed images or CSF binary files for NXP secure boot 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

csf_parser [-d] (-s signed_image | -c csf_binary)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

csf_parser is a utility (a lil tool, a little legend) that parses signed images or binary Command Sequence Files (CSF) — the ones used in the secure boot process on NXP i.MX processors. She digs in, extracts the info, and shows it off from either a signed boot image or a CSF binary file. No cap.

⚠️ real talk: only one input type (signed image or CSF binary) can be processed at a time. Not both. Pick a lane, bestie 🙈

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -d, --enable-debug — turns on debug information output. she's telling you everything now, main character energy fr fr 🔥
• -s, --signed-image file — feed her a signed image file as the input for parsing 🌈
• -c, --csf-binary file — feed her a CSF binary file as the input for parsing 🎀

---

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

parse a signed image with debug enabled:

csf_parser -d -s signed_image.bin

parse a CSF binary file:

csf_parser -c csf_binary.bin
