System Administration Utilities ✨ the fmaptool era ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fmaptool — converts plaintext fmd files into fmap blobs 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fmaptool [-h <header output file>] [-R <region output file>] <fmd input
file> <binary output file>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bestie, fmaptool is literally a compiler for fmd (flashmap descriptor) files. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

when it works (and it will, trust), a successful invocation prints a summary of work done to standard error, and then to standard output it drops a comma-separated list of those sections that contain CBFSes — starting with the primary such section, no cap. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h <header output files> — also produce a C header defining FMAP_OFFSET to the FMAP section's flash offset 🌈
  • -R <region output file> — also produce a text file listing the CBFS regions, comma separated 🍓
