* Add dumpimage, a tool to extract data from U-Boot imagesGuilherme Maciel Ferreira2013-12-13-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a multi-file image created through the mkimage's -d option: $ mkimage -A x86 -O linux -T multi -n x86 -d vmlinuz:initrd.img:System.map \ multi.img Image Name: x86 Created: Thu Jul 25 10:29:13 2013 Image Type: Intel x86 Linux Multi-File Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 13722956 Bytes = 13401.32 kB = 13.09 MB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Contents: Image 0: 4040128 Bytes = 3945.44 kB = 3.85 MB Image 1: 7991719 Bytes = 7804.41 kB = 7.62 MB Image 2: 1691092 Bytes = 1651.46 kB = 1.61 MB It is possible to perform the innverse operation -- extracting any file from the image -- by using the dumpimage's -i option: $ dumpimage -i multi.img -p 2 System.map Although it's feasible to retrieve "data files" from image through scripting, the requirement to embed tools such 'dd', 'awk' and 'sed' for this sole purpose is cumbersome and unreliable -- once you must keep track of file sizes inside the image. Furthermore, extracting data files using "dumpimage" tool is faster than through scripting.

* tools: moved code common to all image tools to a separated module.Guilherme Maciel Ferreira2013-12-13-0/+161
In order to avoid duplicating code and keep only one point of modification, the functions, structs and defines useful for "dumpimage" were moved from "mkimage" to a common module called "imagetool". This modification also weakens the coupling between image types (FIT, IMX, MXS, and so on) and image tools (mkimage and dumpimage). Any tool may initialize the "imagetool" through register_image_tool() function, while the image types register themselves within an image tool using the register_image_type() function: +---------------+ +------| fit_image | +--------------+ +-----------+ | +---------------+ | mkimage |--------> | | <-----+ +--------------+ | | +---------------+ | imagetool | <------------| imximage | +--------------+ | | +---------------+ | dumpimage |--------> | | <-----+ +--------------+ +-----------+ | +---------------+ +------| default_image | +---------------+ register_image_tool() register_image_type() Also, the struct "mkimage_params" was renamed to "image_tool_params" to make clear its general purpose.
