Is there specific microcode file format this tool expects? I always
get 'error: You must specify a microcode file' message.

$ ./tools/microcode-tool.py create M0220661105.h
Usage: microcode-tool.py [options] command

Process an Intel microcode file, Commands:

   create     Create microcode .dtsi file for a model
   list       List available models in microcode file
   license    Print the license
   make       Make a U-Boot .dtsi file


And what is the [options] parameters for?

Regards,
Bin
