Historically, the package was named bmap-tools, and that's the name under which it was introduced in Buildroot. Since then, it has moved to a new home (i. e. to https://github.com/yoctoproject/bmaptool) under the Yocto Project umbrella, and got renamed to bmaptool. To avoid useless churn, we keep the old symbols, and just refer to bmaptool in the prompt.

Tool to flash image files to block devices using the block map
|
|
bmaptool is a generic tool for creating the block map (bmap)
|
|
for a file, and copying files using the block map. The idea is
|
|
that large file containing unused blocks, like raw system
|
|
image files, can be copied or flashed a lot faster with
|
|
bmaptool than with traditional tools like "dd" or "cp".
|
|
|
|
Relevant optional dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- Busybox compiled with CONFIG_BZIP2, or BR2_PACKAGE_BZIP2,
|
|
to support bz2 compressed images
|
|
|
|
- BR2_PACKAGE_PIGZ for optimized gzip decompression
|
|
|
|
- Busybox compiled with CONFIG_LZOP, or BR2_PACKAGE_LZOP, to
|
|
support lzo compressed images.
|
|
|
|
- BR2_PACKAGE_ZIP to support zip compressed images
|
|
|
|
- BR2_PACKAGE_LZ4 to support lz4 compressed images
|
|
|
|
- BR2_PACKAGE_ZSTD to support zstd compressed images
|
|
|
|
- Busybox compiled CONFIG_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_* or
|
|
BR2_PACKAGE_TAR to support tar compressed images
|
|
|
|
- BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSH to retrieve images over SSH.
|
|
|
|
- BR2_PACKAGE_SSHPASS to retrieve images over SSH if
|
|
password authentication is used.
|
|
|
|
Image signature verification is not supported as
|
|
python-gpgme is not available. Optimized bzip2 decompression
|
|
is not supported as pbzip2 is not available.
