It appears the recommendation from mkimage help output is to use
"mkimage -T list" now.

It seems like this should be changed to "-T list" in the manpage.

There are several other options -A, -O and -C that also should probably
be updated, but those options need an updated to the code as well, as
they output the usage information in addition to listing the available
Architecture/Os/Compression types:

  $ mkimage -A list
  
  Invalid architecture, supported are:
          Unknown architecture  Unknown architecture
          Unknown architecture  Unknown architecture
          alpha            Alpha
          arc              ARC
          arm              ARM
          arm64            AArch64
...
          x86_64           AMD x86_64
          xtensa           Xtensa
  
  Error: Invalid architecture
  Usage: mkimage -l image
            -l ==> list image header information
         mkimage [-x] -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep -n name
         -d data_file[:data_file...] image
            -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
...
            -i => input filename for ramdisk file
  Signing / verified boot not supported (CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE undefined)
         mkimage -V ==> print version information and exit
  Use '-T list' to see a list of available image types
  

Using "mkimage -T list" just displays the list of image types, from what
I can tell, which seems more-or-less fine.

I haven't tested anything newer than 2020.04~rc2, so there may be newer
fixes upstream...


live well,
