Hi Guys,
I ask you fro a comment regarding the new image format.
I'm studying the mkimage code (and image.c file) to understand how new
image works. I have the following observations/questions:
- The mkimage calculate hashes before that timestamp is added to image.
is it better exchange the order of these operations (before add
timestamp then calculate hashes)?
- Does the new format assure that the complete image (_all_ sections,
images, ramdisks, configurations, blobs) are covered by at least an hash
value? should mkimage add at least a hash value for the root node?
Thanks a lot,
luigi
